Klian Garb, Wanjh-rut, 464 and No-har or Islam Garh, 465 towards the 
boundary of Bikanir as shown in the map, No. 1, a distance of upwards 
of one hundred and ten miles to the southward of Din Garli, where the 
action of water first begins to show itself. 
From thence these channels — for the whole country round is 
seamed with them—run southwards towards Dhundhar, through the 
western part of the Jasal-mir territory, some miles west of the town 
of that name, and immediately west of Dhundhar, in the direction of 
Amar Kot in Sind, showing, unmistakeably, that at some remote period, 
and as asserted in all the traditions current in these parts, the Hakra or 
Waliindah flowed through the Jasal-mir country (on the west side), 
into Sind. 
The next to the oldest bed of the Sutlaj approaches nearer to the 
bed of the Hakra north of Din Garh than in any other part of its course 
above this point. At Moj Garli or Mol Garh, 466 it is twenty-five miles 
distant on the north, while at Din Garh, only thirteen miles farther 
4 6 4 Called, formerly, Wanjh-rut of Multan, it being then included within the 
boundary of the Multan province and territory dependent on it. In 625 H. (1227 
A. D.), the district or territory of Wanjh-rut was the fief of Malik Taj-ud-din, 
Sanjar-i-Gajzlak IOian, a mamluk or slave of Sultan I-yal-timish of Dilili. Its site 
is described farther on. See also Tdbakdt-i-Ndsiri page 723. 
Shahamat ’All states, that Mubarak Khan, the Da’ud-putrah chief, who suc¬ 
ceeded his brother, Bahawal Khan, in 1163 H. (1750 A. I).), erected a fort on the 
site of a fortification constructed by an infidel named Ranjah which was demolished 
by Sultan ’Ala-nd-Din, Ghuri, and which was called Wanjh-rut. No such Sultan as 
’Ala-ud-Dfn, Ghuri, ever passed the Indus, and no history says so : it is an error for 
Mu’izz-ud-Din, Muhammad, son of Sam, the Ghuri, who invaded Multan and U choh h 
in 571 H. (1175 A. D.), but, as above shown, Wanjh-rut was the chief place of the 
district fifty-five years after that period. See also note 218 page 264. 
465 No-har or Islam Garh is also an ancient place. It was visited by Lieut. 
A. H. E. Boileau of the Hon’ble Company’s Bengal Engineers in 1835, referred to 
previously. He says : “ Halted at Nohur or Islamgurh, an ancient possession of 
the Bhatee family [Bhati tribe ?]. The fort is a very ancient structure built of 
small bricks, the area about 80 yards square, with very lofty ramparts 30 to 50 feet 
high. It is disadvantageously situated in a deep basin half a mile or three quarters 
of a mile in diameter, surrounded by sand hills from 50 to 80 feet high.” 
Of course, when it was bufit, and for centuries after, these sand hills did not 
exist, nor would such a place have been of any use in a howling wilderness. 
466 Moj Garh is the stronghold whither the Da’ud-putrahs always sent their 
women in times of danger. This place, together with Marut, Triharah, Phulra and 
Rukn-pur, were taken from the Bikanir Rajah about one hundred and thirty years 
ago by the Da’ud-putrahs, who were new comers in those parts, together with 
Dirawal or Dirawar, Islam Garh, and Din Garh, from the Rajah of Jasal-mir. 
Shahamat ’All says that Din Garli was built by the first Bahawal Khan which I 
think is an error j for, in some places he contradicts his own statements.
