In the sixth district Barṛa,* the country is so hilly, the forests so impenetrable and the defiles so extensive that it is impassable for troops. The Jaitwah clan inhabit it. It furnishes 1,000 horse and 2,000 foot.

In the seventh district are the Baghélahs. It furnishes 200 horse and the same number of foot. The Káṭhis* are numerous in this tract; they are of the Ahír cast and are skilful in the management of horses. The military force is 6,000 cavalry and 6,000 infantry. They are said by some to be of Arabian origin. Cunning but hospitable, they will eat of the food of people of every caste, and are a handsome race. When any Jaghírdar comes amongst them they make it a condition that there shall be no account taken of the incontinence of any of their people. In the vicinity of the Káṭhis on the banks of the river Dónḍi, there is a sept of Ahírs called Poréchas.* Their force is 3,000 horse and the same number of foot. They are perpetually at feud with the Jáms.*

In the eighth district Jhánjhmér is a maritime port. The Wáji* tribe prevail. There are 200 horse and 2,000 foot.

In the ninth district is the Cháran tribe. Mahadeva formed a man from the sweat of his brow and gave him the charge of his own bull.* He spoke in rhythmic sentences and sang the divine praises and revealed the past and the future. His descendants are known by his name. They chiefly recite panegyrics and genealogies and in battle chant deeds of valour and animate the warriors and some of them reveal future events.* There are few of the nobles of Hindustán who have not some of these in their retinue. This district furnishes 500 horse and 4,000 foot. The tribe called Bháṭ resemble this caste in their panegyrics, their powers, their battle-chants, and genealogical recitations, and although in some of these respects they surpass them yet the Chárans are better swordsmen. Some pretend that the Chárans were called into life by the mere volition of the divinity, and the Bháṭs from Mahádeva.*

Between Jhálwárah in the Sarkár of Aḥmadábád, and Paṭṭan and Sórath is a low-lying tract, 90 kos in length by 7 to 30 in breadth, called the Ran* (the Runn). Before the rainy season, the sea rises and covers this area and falls as the rains cease. A considerable part dries up and is covered with salt, the duties of which are collected in the parganah of Jhálwárah. Aḥmadábád lies to the east of this tract. On the west is a large separate territory called Kachchh (Cutch) 250 kos in length by 100 kos in breadth. Sind lies to the west of Cutch. The physical aspect of the country is barren and sandy. There is an excellent breed of horses believed to be of Arabian race, and there are good camels and goats. The chief of this country is of the Yadu* race and his tribe is now known as Járéjas. The military force of this clan is 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry. The men are handsome, tall in stature and wear long beards. The residence of the chief is Bhuj, which has two strong forts Jhárah and Kantkót. On the Gujarát side towards the south is a Zamindár of note whom they call Jám, a relative of the ruler of the above-mentioned state. Sixty years ago, Jám Ráwal, after a war of two months, was driven out of the country, and settled in Sóraṭh between the territories of the Jaitwah, Báḍhel, Cháran, and Túmbel tribes. He possessed himself of other parts and founded the city of Nawanagar and his country received the name of Little Cutch. Sattarsál the present Rájah, is his grandson. There are many towns and the agricultural area is extensive. The resi­dence of the chief is at Nawanagar and his force consists of 7,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry. The camels and goats are of good breeds. For a considerable period the prime ministers of these two states have been of the Muḥammadan religion.

In the vicinity of Mórá and Mangréj is a state called Pal* through which runs the river Mahendri towards the Gujarát side. It has a separate ruler who resides at Dúngarpúr. On the Málwah side is Bánswálah (Bánswára) and that too has a separate chief. Each of them has a force of 5,000 horse and 10,000 foot, and both are of the Sesódiah clan. The rulers were of the Ráná's family, but for some time past it has been otherwise.

Adjoining the Sarkár of Paṭṭan is a state, the chief town of which is Siróhi and which possesses a force of 2,000 horse and 5,000 foot. On the summit of a hill is the strong fortress of Abúgaṛh (Mount A´bu) about which are 12 flourishing villages. Pasturage is plentiful.

There is also a territory having Naẓarbár* on the east, Mandú on the north, Nadót on the south and Chámpáner on the west. Its length is 60 kos, and its breadth 40. The chief is a Chauhán and his residence is the town of A´li Mohán. Wild elephants are numerous. The force consists of 600 horse and 15,000 foot.

Between Surat and Naẓarbár is a mountainous but flourishing tract called Baglánah, the chief of which is a Raṭhor, commanding 3,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. Fine peaches, apples, grapes, pineapples, pome­granates, and oranges grow here. It possesses seven remarkable forts, among which are Mulér* and Salér.

Between the Sarkárs of Nádót (Nandód), and Naẓarbár is a hilly district 60 kos in length by 40 in breadth, which the Gohel tribe of Rájpúts inhabit. At the present day a Bráhman named Tewári has the manage­ment of affairs, the titular Rajah being of no account. He resides at Rájpíplah* or Khúlú, and has a force of 3,000 horse and 7,000 foot. The water of this tract is very unwholesome. Rice and honey of the finest are here produccd.
