220 J. Beames —On the Geography of India in the Ueign of AJchar. [No. 2, 
included it under Satrikh, the area of wkich seems to be considerably 
smaller now tban it was under Akbar. 
The Sarkar of Avadb or Audb, as tbus reconstructed, was a tolerably 
compact tract of about 90 miles in length lying principally on the right 
bank of the Chauka and Ghogra, but including also a strip of varying 
width on the left or northern bank of the latter. The breadth varies 
very much, and owing to the want of details for Bara Banki cannot be 
exactly stated. At its north-western end it is much mixed up with parts 
of Sarkars Lakhnau and Bahraich, and two detached portions of the former 
Sarkar, one consisting of parganah Siddhaur, the other of parganahs 
Isauli and Garh Amethi, are included in it on its south-western side. 
On the south it marches with Sarkars Manikpur and Jaunpur of the 
Subah of Ilahabad. 
In the endeavour to depict accurately the exterior and interior 
boundaries I have felt this difficulty that though parganahs bearing the 
same names as these in the Ain are still extant, it is far from certain that 
the boundaries were the same as now. The areas given in the Ain only 
refer to cultivated land, and the exact size of Akbar’s bigha is somewhat 
uncertain. The map can therefore only claim to be an approximation, 
though probably a very close approximation, to the actual facts of A. D.
