Regarding the English ports, there were four mahls, and those of the Dutch (Wullendey) two mahls, being together six mahls, paying a tribute of ten laks of ibrahímís.

In addition to the above, Nezen Sháh Bheres, Ádil Sháh Bíjapúrí, Imád Sháh Berárí, Kutb Sháh Gulkandaví, and Rájá Alí Khán Bur­hánpúrí, gave twenty-five laks of húns in tribute yearly.

Inasmuch as many may doubt the truth of what has been now related, let them compare it with what has been written in the Táríkhi Sikandarí, regarding the power and greatness, the possessions, and wealth, of the Sultáns and Nobles of Gujarát, and they may there inform themselves. If I had written even more than I have done, I should be justified: for of these things there is proof in the written account of the power of Malik Ayáz, the slave of the Sultán Mohammed Begarrah. The remains of superb buildings, such as forts, mosques, tanks, and wells, yet to be seen, also testify of these things; and though there be no mountains in the neigh­bourhood of the city of Ahmadábád, yet all the buildings are of stone brought from a distance.

The detail of the sirkars and tribute, copied from the registers of Múl-Chand (who with his forefathers was the keeper of the records to the Nizámat), has been inserted here; and, as no other list but this was obtainable, many names of ports and other places may be erroneous. It is a tradition, however, that Sikandar ben Bah­lúl, the King of Dehlí, said, “the magnificence of the kings of Dehlí consists of wheat and bar­ley, whilst that of the King of Gujarát, who has eighty-four ports under him, has its foundation on coral and pearls.”*

A survey of the extent and boundaries of the province was made when taken possession of by Akbar; and embraced its súbahs, sirkars, parganahs, and towns. It was then ascer­tained that, from Bánswárah and Málwa, on the east, to Dwarka or Jiggut, on the west, this province was two hundred and ninety kroh long. Its breadth was found to be three hun­dred kroh, measuring in the following manner: from the city of Ahmadábád north to Birgaon, in the sirkar of Jalore, and súbah of Ajmír, one hundred and ten kroh; from the city south to the port of Súrat, one hundred and ten kroh; and thence to the passage of the mountains, at Khanapúr, situated on the borders of Khán­desh and Baglánah, a distance of eighty kroh.
