Its length is 35 and its breadth 25 kós. It is bounded on the east by Kashmír, on the north by Katór,* on the south by the territory of the Gakhars,* and on the west by Aṭak Benáres. Timúr left a few troops to hold this tract, and their descendants remain there to this day. Snow lies perpetually on these mountains and at times falls on the plains.* The period of winter is longer than the summer. The rainfall is somewhat similar to Hindustán. It is watered by three rivers, the Kishan Ganga, the Bihat and the Sindh. The language of the country differs from that of Kashmír, Hindustán or Zábulistán. Vetches and barley are the princi­pal crops. Apricots, peaches and walnuts grow wild, it not being the custom to plant fruit trees. Game and horses, camels and buffaloes are of middling account: goats and poultry, plentiful. The rulers of this district generally paid tribute to Kashmír.
