H. G. Raverty —The Mihrdn of Sind and its Tributaries. [No. 4, 
eighty-six Jcuroh in breadth. Six rivers run through it, all coming from 
the Koh-i-Shamali. 1 . Sutlaj , the old name of which is Shutlaj [but 
in the printed text. See note 205, page 259], the spring-head being 
at Kahlur. Ludhianah, Ru-par, and Machlu Warah are on its banks. 
At the Guzar or ferry of Loh [ ^ ] 27S it unites with the Biah. 2. Biali , 
the old name of which is Iiipasha [ IALj ], rises at Biali Kund, near the 
Koli-i-Galu ]. Sultan-pur is near this great river. [It now lies 
eight miles west of it, and three miles north of Loh or Loh-Wal]. 3. 
Rawi , the old name of which is I'rawati [ ]. It issues from the 
Koh i-Bliadral [ (Jl^, or and the Dar-ul-Mulk of Labor is on its 
banks. 4. Chin-db , the old name is Ohandar-Bhaga [ ]. Two 
rivers rise on the slopes of the Koh-i-Khatw r ar [in some, Khishtwar], 
one the Ohandar, the other the Bhaga, and having united near Khatwar, 
the names become changed to Ohandar-Bhaga. It [the united rivers] 
passes by Bahlul-pur, Siidharali, and Hazarah. 274 5. Bihat [ the 
old name of which is Bidasta [ twxi ]. Its source is a hauz or small 
lake in the parganah of Wir in Kash-mir. It flows through Sri-Nagar, 
and Bhirah 275 is situated on its bank. 6. Sind. This river is said to 
rise between Kash-mir and Kashghar, some say in Khita. It passes by 
the confines of Suwad [or Suwat], Atak Banaras, and Ohau-parah to the 
Baluchistan. 276 
is about thirty miles north-east of Ghaukhancli, and between two and three miles 
from the south of left bank of the Rawi, near which Chaukhandi lies, and thirteen 
miles to the eastward of Fath-pur Ghugherah, “ Fattehpoor Googaira,” of the maps. 
Hereabouts, the valley of the Rawi is some thirty-four miles broad, cut up with 
several channels, showing the great changes the river has made at different periods. 
Khat-pur, the chief place of a mahall, mentioned in the Mughal raids, and the place, 
where, at one period, the Rawi used to be forded, was the northernmost part of the 
Multan subah , and is repeatedly mentioned in history, but that seems to have dis 
appeared. 
Sath Garh is the place to which Mr. M. L. Dames’s (Seethe “ Journal” for 
1881) “mighty Chakar Rind,” a petty Balfich chief, retired, when he had to leave 
the Baluch country. He did not “found” any “kingdom with its capital Sevi 
(Sibi),” and did not “wage war xoith Human Chughutta” as Humayun Badshah 
has been styled by him. More respecting Chakar, the Rind, will be found farther 
on. See also my “Notes on Afghanistan,” etc. page 347.

274 Or Taklit-i-Hazarah on the west bank of the Chin-ao, 8| miles N. N. W. of 
Jalal-pur, and 34 miles below Ram-Nagar, in the Chin-hath do-dbah of Labor subah , 
with a fort of burnt brick, belonging then to the Kholchars. 
275 Also written Bhihrah ( ) in some copies of the A’in. This is the 
fortress of the Tammmff, Shihab-ud-Din, Mubarak Shah, which Amir Timur captured, 
but he calls it Balirah, as does his descendant, Babar, who took possession of it before 
he succeeded in his designs upon Hindustan. See note 246, page 279.
