408 H. G. Raverty — The Mi hr an of Sind and its Tributaries. [Ex. No. 
hand, and passing near Uchchh, unites with the Gharah. From the 
Kadlihi two kuroh in the same direction is Ratani [“ Rotani ” of the 
large scale Revenue Survey map], and the Nil! daryd [river] lies three 
kuroh on the left hand. The Sutlaj and Biah unit ed in one channel, 
the people of this part call Hariari, Kill, and lower down, Gharah and 
Ghallu-Gharah. From Ratani you go another three kuroh fto Muhi- 
Wal ki Thathi and from thence three kuroh more in the same direction 
to Bhakhi ka Dliera [“ Bhakidera ” of the maps]. After this, 
going another three kuroh in the same direction as before, you reach 
the Kadlihi or Khan AY ah an again. * * * Passing by lchrani, 
you come to Khair-pur, a large kasbah, the place of residence of ’Umar 
Khan, Kahrani, the JDa’ud-putrah, who pays allegiance to Bahawal 
Klian. The Kill or Hariari lies five kuroh from it on the left hand, 4,30 
and the Rud-i-Kadhhi or Khan-Wa-han passes on the west side, 
under the walls of the kasbah .” Then, going by Ahmad Shah, now 
Ahmad-pur, another village belonging to ’Umar Khan, and by Shaikh - 
Wa-han, where is the famous shrine, the Got i-Ka’im Khan, Ra’is, is 
reached, where resides, Ka’im Khan, the Ra’is. The Kadlihi Rud 
or Klian-Wa-hah passes close by the kasbah on the east side ; while 
the daryd [the Nili or Gharah] lies four kuroh distant on the left 
hand 431 (west).” Then, in going from the Got in question to Multan 
by way of Mailsi, the Survey account says : “ going four kuroh north¬ 
west, you reach the Hariari or Gharah, and pass by boat to the other 
side, and m going, the Kadlihi or Khan-Wa-han is crossed two or 
three times. Having crossed the Gharah by boat, you proceed six 
kuroh west, inclining north-west [W. N. W.], and Mailsi is reached, 
passing by many villages, and through much jangal, by the way. 
From thence you go fifteen kuroh [allowing for windings : it is really 
twenty-two miles as the crow flies] to Nur Muhammad ka Tibbah 
[“ Tibba” of the maps], passing by the way two or three small villages, 
and through much jangal. Half way the channel of a great river is 
reached, which is that of the Biah, which once flowed therein ; and 
from the time it left its channel near Kasur and the neighbourhood of 
Debal-pur, and united with the Sutlaj [see pages 372 and 374], this 
channel became dry. In the time of the inundation, in the rainy season, 
it still flows, and opposite Bahdwal-pur unites with the Gharah ,” etc. 
written ‘Wah’ in the maps and some Gazetteers, as if the word meant ‘bravo,’ 
‘well done,’ and the like, which is Persian, and Wa-hah is not. The “Sind 
Gazetteer,” however, says “ Vah ” means a canal ! 
430 it is now only two miles and a half, or about a kuroh and a half. 
431 At present it flows seven miles and a half west of it, and ten miles and a 
half north.
