*In a genealogical table of the family of Holkar prepared by Sir C. M. Wade, Resident at Indôr, 1843, and ordered by the House of Commons to be printed in 1850, we find it stated that the family of Malhiba, from which that of Holkar has descended, was once settled at Gokal, near Mathura, from whence they emigrated to Chittôr, and afterwards to Unaqupatkar, near Aurangabad. Ultimately they settled in the village of Halmoram, where Malhiba obtained the situation of "Duty Patel." After him the village came to be called Malhiba Holkar.
