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:
“Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.”
—William James (1842–1910)
