336 H. G. Raverty— The Mihrdn of Sind and its Tributaries. [Ex. No. 
incorrect mode of writing- names of places adopted in our best maps, 
through the surveyors, generally, being only acquainted with the 
vernacular colloquially, and inserting the names from ear, this name 
appears as “ UleeJchunanuh ”; and while in the Revenue Survey map of 
the Jhung (instead of Jhang) District, the Haweli of Bahadur Shah, 
Kureshi, appears as “ Hmvali ” only ; in the map of the Multan Division 
it actually appears as U Bluwah;” while on the opposite side of the 
Chin-ab, we find the same word written “ Huvelee ” ! The word, of 
course, is the ’Arabic in common use, and signifying, ‘ a house,’ ‘ a 
♦4 
dwelling,’ ‘ mansion,’ ‘the court-house of a district, public offices,’ 827 
and the like, but, in these instances, referring to the dwelling-place 
or shrine of a Muhammadan saint. 
There is no large ndlah now from the Bihat on the west bank of the 
river uniting with the Chin-ab abreast of Kot Mahpal; and the former 
river is, at present, nine miles farther north than the point indicated. 
Murad de Bohar, the very large and ancient tree, with the old graves 
beneath it, have now disappeared, unless u Huvelee Mohu ” of one map, 
and “ Huvelee Mohungir ”—both referring to the same place—be meant 
for it; and of the ancient channel of the Bihat near this venerable tree, 
and the village of Murad da Kot, no trace at present remains, because 
the Chin-ab since that time has taken to it. sss 
This river, the Bihat or Wihat, is called the Jamd and Dandanah 
in the histories of Amir Timur’s campaign. 
The Chin-ab or Chandar-Bhaga. 
The tract of country lying between the Chin-ab and the Rawi, 
constituting the Rachin-ao or Rachin-ab Do-abah, especially that portion 
of it extending from the southern part of the Gujaran-Walah district, 
and below that again to the south and south-west, belonging to the two 
districts of Jhang-i-Sialan and Ghugherah, now called Montgomery, 
and forming the lower or south-western part of the Rachin-ao Do-abali, 
is quite different from the other Do-abahs except part of the Chin-hath 
already described, and the Bari Do-abah yet to be noticed. This part 
is so cut up with old channels of the Chin-ab and the Rawi, that it 
requires special notice before attempting to describe the Chin-ab and 
its course. It contains three great tracts of waste land, consisting of 
three elevated plateaux, namely, the Sandal Bar, the Gondal Bar, and 
the Ganji Bar (in part), besides a fourth, differing considerably from the 
others, called the Bdr-i- Chin-ab or Ciiu-ao Bar, lying on either side of 
that river, as it flows at present.
