Ka’im Khan, the Ra’is, and at about the same distance south of Khair- 
pur in the Bahawal-pdr state, where it makes a sharp bend towards the 
south for about twelve or thirteen miles, and indicating the course it 
once took in the direction of Moj Garb towards the Hakra or Wahindah. 
After this it turns nearly due west again, and reaches within about 
three or four miles of the town of Bahawal-pur. From this point 
again it makes a sharp bend to the south, showing another direction 
which it formerly took towards the Hakra in the direction of Din Garh 
or Trehara, where the action of water is plainly indicated in the direc¬ 
tion of that place, situated on the south bank of the last named river 
channel. After a few more bends of minor importance, it reaches 
within about six miles south of Ahmad-pur, where the land slopes 
gradually from the banks of the present Gharah, near its junction with 
the Chiu-ab towards the channel of the Hakra, after which the old Sutlaj 
channel runs in a south-westerly direction towards Khair Garh, Derail, 
Ohaudari, Firdzah, Khan-pur, Kot-i-Sambah (I wonder this has not 
been “identified” as the capital of the dominions of Sambus ), and 
Noh-Shahrah, which places it passes within from eight to three miles 
or less on the east. After this, the traces of this last bed in which 
his simple name, viz., “ The Sultan of Recluses, the Incomparable or Unique of tlie 
Faitli and of Religion, the Hoard of Sugar, i. e., Eloquence.” His father’s names 
were Jalal-ud-Din, Suliman, who was descended from Farrukh Shah fa Sayyid not 
a King), Kabuli, and the saint himself was brought up at Kutub-Wal, a dependency 
of Multan. According to all chroniclers the saint died on Saturday, the 5th of 
Muharram, 668 H. (4th September, 1269 A. D.), just ten years after the “ Tabakat-i- 
Nasiri” was completed by its author. 
Ajdddhan or “the Pak Pattan,” from the time the Sikhs became predominant 
in these parts, went rapidly to ruin. At the time of the Survey near the close of 
the last century, it is thus described 
“ Ajuddhan is an ancient place situated on a high mound, in such wise that 
it is visible for a distance of two or three kuroh . Before the arrival of the Sultan- 
uz-Zahidan, it was the abode of Jogis and other Hindu recluses. After the saint 
had been buried there, it became known as the Pdk Pattan — Holy Town — and the 
shrine is situated near the south side of the parapet, consisting of a high domed 
building, a large masjid , and a rest-house for travellers. The interior domed 
building over the tomb itself is about three times the stature of a man in height, 
and has two entrances. Within are two tombs, one that of the saint, and the other 
that of his eldest son, buried near on the west side of his father. The entrance on 
the south side is called the Bihishti Darwazah, which is only opened on the 6th 
of Mnharram [the day following the anniversary of his death], in the evening, 
which is the time for making offerings at the shrine, and is kept open for three 
watches. A vast concourse of people assemble from far and near, and pass through 
this Bihishti entrance ; and whoever does so, it is said, on that person the fire of 
hell has no effect.” The writer observes, in the MS., that u such is exceedingly easy 
for the Almighty to effect., if He would but do so.”
