Corroboration of Events in The Dalpat Vilas
The genealogy of the Rathores and the Sur dynasty as described in the Dalpat Vilas, are in keeping with other historical sources. The story of Sher Shah Suri repaying a debt of gratitude is uncorroborated. The manuscript ascribes Hemu’s killing to Akbar’s nobles, this is consistent with the version in the writings of Abul Fazl, Badaoni and others. Akbar's visit to Nagaur is also mentioned in the Akbarnama while the siege of Siwana is also spoken of by Abul Fazl.
Akbar's unusual behavior at the Qamargah hunt of 1579 is mentioned in the Akbarnama and by Badaoni. The rather detailed description of the happenings ( in the Dalpat Vilas ) suggest that the author was actually present at the scene.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
