1892.] H. G. Raver ty— The Mihrdn of Sind and its Tributaries. 
Mir Ma’sum of Bakliar, the historian of Sind, states, that in 693 H. 
(1293-4 A. D.), Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, the Khalj Turk ruler of Dihli, 
marched to Labor, and despatched his middle son, Arkali Khan, to 
assume the government of l/ohchh and Multan; and Nusrat Khan, 
another son, was made feudatory of Sind. Subsequently, Nusrat Khan 
was placed in charge of the Multan, U'chchh, Bakhar, Siw-istan, and 
Thathah territories, with the town of Multan as the seat of govern¬ 
ment. 
In 697 ET. (1297-98 A. D.) Saldae, the Mu gh al, invaded Sind, on 
which occasion Nusrat Khan took his troops to Siw-istan (but not 
to Sivvi) by water—this does not mean that Siw-istan, the modern 
Sihwan, was close to the banks of the A'b-i-Sind ; for it was still a con¬ 
siderable distance from it—overcame the Mu gh als, and returned to 
Bakhar. There he found orders awaiting him to lead half his forces 
from Bakhar by way of Jasal-mir, in order to take part in the campaign 
against Gujarat, upon which service his brother, the Ulugh Klian, had 
been sent. From this it appears that there was no scarcity of water 
between Bakhar and Jasal-mir, and the Hakra or Wakindah must have 
been still flowing, but whether in so large a volume as previously, we 
cannot say, as there is no distinct mention of it. 
After these events, in the reign of Sultan ’Ala-ud-Din, the Khalj 
Turk, Ghazi Malik, afterwards Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Tughluk Shah, 
was sent to Debal-pur at the head of 10,000 horse to repel the Mughal 
inroads into that part of the Panj-ab territory. 
In the Tarikh-i-’Ala’i, or Khazain-ul-Futuh by Amir Kliusrau, there 
is an account of Sultan ’Ala-ud-Din, the Khalj Turk, who reigned from 
695 H. to 710 H. (1296 to 1310 A. D.). In the first-mentioned year, 
Kadar, the Mu gh al [who is made a Tatar of in Elliot’s “ Historians ”], 
invaded the tract of country called Jaran-Manjur, 210 having come from 
the Koh-i-Jud or Salt Range west of the Jihlam. The author says he 
crossed the Biah, Jilam, and Sutlaj , and burnt the villages of the Klio- 
kliars.” The rivers are mentioned by him in the order in which they 
are here written. 
’Abd-ullah-i-Wassaf, in his history, completed in 728 H. (1327 
A. D.), in the brief notice of the Sultans of Dihli, mentions the Sutlaj. 
He says with reference to the route between Khurasan and Hind: 
“ After crossing the panj-ab or five rivers, namely, the Sind, the Jilam 
[Jihlam], the river of Lohawar, the Satlut [in the margin is Sutlaj], 
210 The name of this place is written in various ways—Jawan Manjur, Jaran- 
Majur, Jar-Manjhur, and the like. In Elliot it is turned into “Jalandhar.” See 
vol. Ill, p. 162, note 2.
