MSS,, the Budhiyah—of the Chach Namah], which is the title of 
all the Maliks of Kinnauj. There is likewise a town called by this 
name, and at present it is within the pale of Islam, and is among the 
dependencies of Multan. 113 From thence [Budah] issues one of the 
rivers which together form the Nahr-i-Mihran of Sind. # # * This 
Budah, who is the Malik of Kinnauj, is the enemy of the Balhari, the 
Malik of Hind. The Malik of Kandhar [Kandharah. or Kandharo before 
noticed], who is one of the Maliks of Sind and its hill tracts, rules over 
the territory of or [Jachch or Jachchi, the tract lying between 
Uchchh and Kandharah or Kandharo, a small territory then dependent 
on Multan. Jachch Wa-han, once its principal town, is still in exist¬ 
ence]. Out of it comes the river Ra’id [ tj ], ll4! one of the rivers which 
go to form the Mihran of Sind. Kandhar [Kandharah or Kandharo] is 
called the country of the Rahbut [in the original, —Al-Ralibut, 
and also Al-Rahyut——and, no doubt, meant for Raj-put— 
]. Another, the third of the five rivers, is called Ha til [<J-khb ], 115 
and comes from the mountain tracts of Sind, and flows through the 
country of Rah-but or territory of Kandhar [Kandharah or Kandharo], 
The fourth river of the five comes from the territory of Kabul and its 
mountains, 116 which form the frontier or boundary of Sind towards 
The Wagirs are still well known in the tracts between Lower Sind and Kachchb, 
and Surath or Kathiawar (vnl. “ Kattywar),” and have given much trouble at differ¬ 
ent times. Sind-bur, or Sand-bur was certainly in Ka chch h. See also the old ’Arab 
map, page 213. 
US This distinctly shows in what direction this Kinnauj was situated, and that 
it has nothing whatever to do with the celebrated city of that name on the Kali 
Nadi, near its junction with the Ganges. See also note farther on. 
114 Elliot has “ Hahaj ” but for the purely ’Arabic letter to appear twice in an 
Indian word is impossible. The part here referred to lay on either side of the 
Hakra, adjoining Ja chch on the north. The name still remains in Kandharah, or 
Kandharo in the Sindf dialect, in the south-west corner of the Baliawal-pur state 
adjoining Upper Sind, the “ Kundairoh,” “ Kundeara,” and “Kandera” of as 
many different maps. It lies on the east bank of the old channel of the Hakra, near 
its western branch, called the Ra’in. or Ra’ini, the “ Rainee Nullah” of the maps, 
respecting which more will be found farther on. Ja chch or Ja chch Wa-han, appears 
in the maps as “ Jvjja.” The petty ruler referred to in the text above was evident¬ 
ly one of the Ranas subject to the ’Arab rulers of Multan. As late as the time of 
Sultan Nasir-ud-Din, Kaba-jah, seven of these Ranas were tributary to Multan, and

The word here given can only refer to the Ra’in branch of the Hakra or Wa- 
hindah. See note 120, page 209. 
115 This appears to be the same word, with the addition of another letter, as in 
the extract from Bu-Rihan, who says : “ The river Kuj or Kaj, which falls from the 
hill range of Bhatil.” See note farther on. 
116 This cannot refer to the river of Kabul and its tributaries, since the word
