°r or or The town of the Bhatiah is evidently meant here] 
fifteen farsangs. From thence between south and west is x4ro or Aru 
[jjl in MS., perhaps Aror jjj t ?], distant fifteen farsangs. From 
between two arms or branches of the Sind Rud, is Bahman-no, or 
Bahman-no Mansuriyat, 166 distant 20 farsangs , from which Loharani, 
which is the place of outlet [of the river], is distant thirty farsangs.' 1 
Referring to other routes going from Kinnauj to the Mihran, he 
says, after mentioning Sunam, that, going north-west from thence 
[Kinnauj] nine farsangs is Arat-hur [ y*A ch>! also written Arat-huz 
or Adatt-hur - jyA o«>f ], then to^hsr^ or or or 
or[which I will not attempt to speculate upon] si x farsangs. 
From thence to Mandhukur [ ] the kasbah or bazar town of 
Lohawar, east of the river Trawat [the Rawah or Rawf], eight farsangs; 
then to the river Ghandrahah [ aA^aia. ] twelve ; then to Jihlam west 
of the Bihat [? MS. has and printed text j eighteen farsangs; 
from thence to Daliind [ 0 r Wahind-^Aj and ^Jj-Waihind, 
in the printed text], the kasbah of Kandhar [Gandharah], which the 
Mn gli als 167 call Kara-Jang [ \j's ] west of the Ab-i-Sind, twenty 
farsangs .” * * * Referring to the mouths of the Nahr-i-Mihran, he 
says: “ After this, you come to the lesser and greater mouths of the 
river, and then reach the [haunts of the gfy ] Bawarij who are pirates, 
and Kach [Kachchh] and Suminat. * * * From Debal to Kohra’i or 
Kohara’i [ ] is twelve farsangs [thirty-six miles or little over]. 163

etc.,— which is probably Addo of the maps,about 60 miles east of Bhuj in Ka chch h— 
is but 15 farsavgs =45 miles from “ Bhati.” The places referred to here mostly lie 
near the sea coast, Elliot’s “ Marine strand,” extending from the eastern mouth of 
the Mihran of Sind to Surath, the Saurashtrah of the Hindus—Kathiawar—and of 
this there can be no doubt. See page 258. 
See note 105, ante , page 196, and note 146, ante, page 216. These distances, 
if correct, would show this place —Bazanah—to be situated in the north-west 
corner of the present Jasal-mir state. 
16? The words “ which the Muglials call I£ara-Jang ” will not be found in Bu- 
Rihan’s text. Here we have Rashid-ud-Din, not Bu-Rihan, for the simple reason, 
that, at the period the latter wrote, and for more than a century after, the Muglials 
were unknown to the Musalman waiters. For more respecting this Kara-Jang, see 
Tabakat-i-Nasiri,” page 1216; and compare Cunningham, “Ancient India,” page 
55. 
163 See ante page 206, and note 112. The overflow from the channel of the 
Hakra, Wahindah, or Sind-Sagar still reaches the sea by the inlet which appears as 
“ Kohri ” in our maps, the names in which are generally incorrectly written. The 
Hajamro mouth of the Indus is just thirty-four miles (or lately was : it may have 
changed considerably since the publication of the most recent maps) from the 
Kohra’i mouth to the north-west. Bawarij is the plural of a war-boat 
apparently, and certainly refers to boats or vessels.
