Sarkár of Kábul.

It is situated in the third and fourth climates. Its length from Aṭak Benáres on the Indus to the Hindu kóh is 150 kós; its breadth from Ḳarábágh6 of Ḳandahár to Cheghán Será, 100 kós. It is bounded on the east by Hindustán; on the north-west by the mountains and Ghór; between to the north lies Anderáb of Badakshán, the Hindu kóh intervening; on the south by Farmul and Naghr. Adequate praise of its climate is beyond the power of pen to express, and although its winter is severe rather than moderate, it occasions no distress. The torrid and cold belts are so contiguous that the transition may be made from one to the other in a single day. Such approximation of summer and winter pasturage in an inhabited country is uncommon. Snow falls both in the plains and on the mountains; in the former from November and on the latter from September: Báber states that the snowfall in the direction of Hindustán does not pass the crest of the Bádám Chashmah.1 This doubtless was the case in those days, but at the present time it extends to the crest of the Nímlah, and indeed as far as the Khaibar pass. Even in summer time covering is needed during the nights. There are various delightful fruits, but the melons are not so good.2 Agriculture is not very prosperous. The country is surrounded on all sides by lofty mountains, so that the sudden invasion of an enemy is attended with extreme difficulty.

The Hindu kóh separates Kábul from Badakshán and Balkh, and seven routes are employed by the people of Turán in their marches to and fro. Three are by the Panjhír3 (valley), the highest of which is over the Khawák pass; below this is Ṭúl, and the next lower in succession, Bázárak. The best of these is Ṭúl but it is somewhat long as its name implies. The most direct is over the heights of Bázárak. Between the high range and Parwán are seven other heights called Haft Bachah (the Seven Younglings). From Anderáb two roads unite at the foot of the main pass and debouch (on Parwán) by the Haft Bachah. This is extremely arduous. Three other roads lead by Parwán up the Ghorband valley. The nearest route is by the pass of Yangi-yúli,1 (the new road) which leads down to Waliyán and Khinján; another is the Ḳibcháḳ pass, also somewhat easy to traverse, and a third is the Shibertú. In the summer when the rivers rise, it is by this pass that they descend by way of Bámián and Tálikán, but in the winter the A´bdarah route is chosen, for at this season, all other routes but this are closed.

There is also a road leading from Khurásán to Ḳandahár which is direct and has no mountain pass.

From Hindustán five roads are practicable. 1. Karpah, which after traversing two defiles, leads to Jalálábád. This route is not mentioned by Báber and doubtless was not used in his time. 2. Khaibar, this was formerly somewhat difficult, but by the command of His Majesty it has been made easily practicable for wheeled conveyance, and at the present time travellers from Turán and India take this route.1 3. Bangash which is reached by crossing the Indus at the Dhankoṭ2 ferry. 4. Naghr. 5. Farmul, by which the Indus must be crossed at the Chaupárah ferry.

Eleven languages are spoken in this province, each nationality using its own, viz., Turkish, Mughal, Persian, Hindi, Afgháni, Pushtu, Paráchi, Geberi, Bereki, Lamgháni and Arabic.3 The chief tribes4 are the Hazárahs and Afgháns, and the pasturage of the country is in the hands of these two clans. The Hazárahs are the descendants of the Chaghatai army, sent by Manku Ḳáán to the assistance of Hulákú Khán. These troops were sent to these parts under the command of his son Nikodár Oghlán. Their settlements extend from Ghazni to Ḳandahár and from Maidán to the confines of Balkh. They number more than 100,000 families,1 the third part of which consists of cavalry. They possess horses, sheep and goats. They are divided into factions, each covetous of what they can obtain, deceptive in their common intercourse and their conventions of amity savour of the wolf.

The Afgháns consider themselves the descendants of the Israelites. They assert that their remote progenitor, named Afghán,2 had three sons, viz., Saraban to whom the Sarabani clan trace their lineage; the second, Ghurghusht from whom the Ghurghustis claim descent, and the third Baṭan to whom the pedigree of the Baṭani tribe is ascribed. From these three branches they developed into their several clans, each distinguished by its eponymous tribarch. The following septs unite in SARABAN, viz., Tarín, Baraich, Miyánah, Kharshín, Shiráni, U´rmar, Kási, Jamand, Kheshgi, Katáni,3 Khalíl, Mohmandzai, Dáúdzai, Yusufzai, Kaliyáni,4 and Tarkaláni. From GHURGHUSHT spring the Suráli (var. Suráni), Jílam, Orakzai, Afrídi, Jagtáni, Khattaki, Kararáni, Báwar, Mansúb, Kákar, Nághar, Báni, Maswáni, Pani, and Táran. To BAṬAN are ascribed the Ghilzai, Lódi, Niyázi, Loḥáni, Súr, Bani, Sarwáni and Kakbór.1

It is said that Mast Ali2 Ghóri whom the Afgháns call Matí had illicit intercourse with one of the daughters of Baṭan. When the results of this clandestine intimacy were about to become manifest, he preserved her reputation by marriage, and three sons were born to him, viz., Ghilzai, Lódi, and Sarwáni.

Some assert the Afgháns to be Copts, and that when the Israelites came to Egypt from Jerusalem, this people passed into Hindustán. The tradition is too long to be condensed within narrow limits, but it is noticed in passing as a fanciful digression.

There are many wild tribes, such as the Khwájah Khizri, Ḳáḳshál, Maidáni, Uzbek, Kalatki, Paránchi, Nilpúrchi, Bakderi, Bahsúdi, Sídibái, Tufakandáz (matchlockmen), Arab, Gilahbán (shepherds) and Túḳbai but not as numerous as the first mentioned, and most of them at the present time have become settled colonists.

The City of Kábul is situated in the fourth climate. Its longitude is 104° 40,'3 and its latitude 34° 30.' It is one of the finest of ancient4 cities, and is said to have been founded in the time of Pashang. It possesses a double earthwork fortress of considerable strength. To the south-west of the fortified town is a low hill which is a source of much beneficence, called Sháh Kábul,5 doubtless with reference to an edifice erected upon it by one of its former kings. Upon its summit stands the citadel, and there was a separate ridge1 named Aḳábain. As it somewhat overlooked the fort, it was included within its precincts by royal command. Skirting its base are fair embankments, pleasure-g??rdens and delightful groves, amongst which the Shahr A´rá (Pride of the City) are especially beautiful. The city is watered by two streams. One of these, called the Júi Khaṭíbán, enters from Lalandar and flowing through the Shahr A´rá passes by the city; the other, the Júi Pul i Mastán,2 more wholesome and limpid than the former, from the narrows of the Deh i Yạḳúb winds past the Delhi Gate and runs on to Deh i Mạmúrah. Near this a canal called Máhum Anagah3 has been brought, which is of extreme convenience, and adjacent is the Gulkanah quarter fair to the eye and dear to the heart. From the hill (of Sháh Kábul) flow three streams citywards; at the head of one is the shrine of Khwájah Hamu;4 the second, according to popular belief, had been visited by the prophet Khizr; the third is over against (the tomb of) Khwájah Abdu's Ṣamad known as Khwájah Roshanái. The wise of ancient times considered Kábul and Ḳandahár as the twin gates of Hindustán, the one leading to Turkestán and the other to Persia. The custody of these highways secured India from foreign invaders, and they are likewise the appropriate portals to foreign travel.

In Kábul as well as in Samarḳand and Bokhára, a parganah which comprises towns and villages is called a Túmán.5 The Túmán of Bígrám is called Parasháwar, the spring season of which is delightful. Here is a shrine greatly venerated called Kórkhatri,6 visited by people especially jógis from distant parts.

The Túmán of Néknihál1 is one of the dependencies of Lamghán. The residence of the governor was formerly at Adínahpúr but is now at Jelálábád. There is here no snowfall and the cold is not so severe. Nine streams irrigate the cultivated lands; the pomegranates have no seed-stones. Near Jelálábád is the Bágh i Ṣafá2 (The Garden of Purity) a memorial of Báber, and adjacent to Adínahpúr is the Bágh i Wafá (The Garden of Fidelity) another relic of the same monarch. To the south lies the stupendous range of the Safed kóh (The White Mountain) with its perpetual snows from which it derives its name. In this neighbourhood is a low hill3 where when it snows in Kábul, a similar snowfall occurs.

The Túmán of Mandráur: monkeys here abound. The Alishang river uniting with the Alingár joins the Bárán, while the Cheghán Sarái river flowing through the north-east quarter enters Katór.1

The Túmán of Alishang is surrounded by lofty mountains covered with snow in which is the source of the Alishang river. The inhabitants are called Káfirs. In the vicinity is a tomb asserted by the people to be that of Lám the father of Noah, called also Lamek (Lamech). The people here pronounce the káf like a ghain, and hence the currency of the name (Lamghán).

The mountainous Túmán of Najráo2 also is peopled by the káfirs. Instead of lamp they burn the chilghozah.3 There is also an animal called the Flying Fox,4 which flies upward about the height of a yard. There is also a rat which exhales the smell of musk.5

Charkh is a village of the Túmán of Loghar which gives its name to Maulana Yạḳúb Charkhi. Sajáwand is also one of the well-known villages of this Túmán.

The mountains of the Túmán of Badráo6 are the home of káfirs and wild Házarahs and Afgháns.

The Túmán of Alsá1 is situated intermediately between the torrid and cold belts. Birds cross this tract about the beginning of spring and good sport is had.

The Túmán of Bangash2 furnishes 7,000 Cavalry and 87,800 Infantry, viz.:—

The Túmán of Gardéz4 has a strong fort. The houses are for the most part three and four stories high.

Ghaznín is situated in the third climate, and is also known as Zábul, and was the capital of Sulṭán Maḥmúd, Sulṭán Shahábu'ddín and several other monarchs.

This territory was formerly called Zábulistán, and some reckon Ḳandahár as included within it. Here is the last resting-place of Hakím Sanái1 and many other saintly personages. The winter season is said to resemble that of Samarḳand and Tabríz. A river2 runs from north to south which waters all the arable tracts. The cultivators are put to great trouble as fresh soil has to be supplied each year to fertilize the land and it becomes then more productive than that of Kábul. The metal called ruín3 is here abundant and is imported into Hindustán. In the time of Báber there was here a tomb which shook whenever the praises of Muḥammad were recited. The investigations of acute observers discovered that this was effected by the fraud of relic mongers. There is also a spring into which if any filth be thrown, a thunderstorm ensues with a fall of snow and rain.4

The Túmán of Dáman i koh5 has a profusion of flowers and its spring and autumn are matchless in beauty.

In the Túmán of Ghorband the variety of floral hues is beyond expression. Three and thirty species of tulips here bloom and one kind named the rose-scented tulip breathes the fragrance of the blush-rose.1

Mines of silver and lapis-lazuli are also found. Near the mountains is a sandy tract called Khwájah Rég i Rawán2 and from this quicksand, the sound as of drums is heard in the summer time.

In the Túmán of Zohák and Bámián, the fortress of Zohák is a monument of great antiquity, and in good preservation, but the fort of Bámián is in ruins. In the mountain-side caves have been excavated and ornamented with plaster and paintings. Of these there are 12,000 which are called Sumaj and in former times were used by the people as winter retreats. Three colossal figures are here: one is the statue of a man, 80 yards in height; another that of a woman 50 yards high, and the third is that of a child measuring 15 yards. Strange to relate, in one of these caves is placed a coffin containing the body of one who reposes in his last sleep.3 The oldest and most learned of antiquarians can give no account of its origin, but suppose it to be of great antiquity. In days of old the ancients prepared a medicament with which they anointed corpses and consigned them to earth in a hard soil. The simple deceived by this art, attribute their preservation to a miracle.

The territory of Kábul comprises twenty Túmáns. The Emperor Báber in his Memoirs sets down the revenue at twenty lakhs of Shahrukhis, inclusive of Tamgha1 imposts, equivalent to three lakhs and twenty thousand Akbar Sháhi rupees, the rupee being reckoned at forty dáms.

At the present time notwithstanding the remission of various taxes, by the blessing of this ever-during rule, the revenue has reached the amount of six krórs, seventy-three lakhs, six thousand, nine hundred and eighty-three dáms. (Rs. 1,682,674-9.) The increase is to be attributed to the improved state of the cultivation, and also that Parasháwar and Ashtaghar1 were not included in the former account, and lastly, that the revenue officers of that time were not as capable as they are at present.

In the year 77 of the Flight (A. D. 696-7) Abdu'l Malik b. Marwán removed Umayyah b. Abdu'l Malik from the government of Khurasán and conferred it upon Hajjáj b. Yusuf of the tribe of Thakíf, and sent Abdu'llah b. Abu Bakr to Sistán, who levied an army, marched against Ranṭhél king of Kábul. The latter unable to withstand him took refuge in the depths of the mountains. Abdu'llah not realising the difficulties of his undertaking eagerly pursued. The mountaineers barricading the passes with stone breast-works, blocked his road. The invading force was hard-pressed and reduced to extremity through want of provisions. Abdu'llah was therefore compelled to purchase a retreat with the sum of 700,000 dirhams, equivalent in present money value to 3,00,000 rupees. Shuraih b. Háni in indignation at the compact advanced to an engagement notwithstanding his being stricken in years, and fell bravely fighting. Hajjáj on hearing of the event, reprimanded Abdu'llah and removed him from his command. In the year 80 (A. D. 699) he appointed Abdu'r Raḥmán b. Muḥammad Ashạth to conduct the war against Ranṭhél and bestowed on him the government of Sistán and the adjacent territory. Abdu'r Raḥmán on his arrival in Kábul adopted the former tactics, but prudently occupied each defile with his pickets and performing prodigies of valour, secured a large booty. The difficulties of the country, however, prevented its permanent occupation. Hajjáj disapproving his retreat sent him a severe reprimand in the following terms: “Although your exertions during the present year have been strenuous, the retribution demanded by your dishonourable retreat is that immediately on the receipt of this letter, you take possession of the country. Should you, through persistence in your own opinions or through fear of the consequences to yourself, refuse to comply and defer operations till the coming year, you are removed from your command, and are hereby required to look upon Isháḳ b. Muḥammad as your commander and to place yourself under his orders.” Abdu'r Raḥmán, confiding in the strength of possession, disloyally formed a compact with his officers and refusing submission, made peace with the king of Kábul and marched against Hajjáj. The conditions of peace were that Abdu'llah if victorious should altogether withdraw from Kábul and in no way molest it, but if defeated, the king should on his part afford him protection and assistance. Hajjáj was enraged at this rebellious conduct, and gave him battle outside the walls of Ṭustar.1 Abdu'r Raḥmán was victorious, and Hajjáj retreated to Baṣrah. A second engagement took place in which the rebel was defeated and took refuge in the fortress of Bast2 which was held by one of his lieutenants. This accursed of God and man, with a view to ingratiate himself with Hajjáj, seized him with the intention of surrendering him to Hajjáj. The king of Kábul, on being informed of the circumstance, set out with the greatest expedition and releasing him, returned with him to Kábul. On several subsequent occasions, with the assistance of the king, he continued the war but without success. In the lunar year 84, (A. D. 703) Ranṭhél overcome by the persuasion and seductive promises of Hajjáj, sent Abdu'llah to him as a prisoner. The latter resenting the dishonour, whilst on the road, threw himself from a precipice and was killed.

In A. H. 107 (A. D. 725-6) under the caliphate of Hishám b. Abdu'l Malik, Amín b. Abdu'llah Ḳashari, governor of Khurasán conquered Ghor, Gharjistán, the territory of Nímroz1 and Kábul and made (the latter) his capital. From that time continuously under the dynasties of Umayyah and Abbás, it was held by the governor of Khurasán, until under the Sámánis, Alptegín a slave of that House, withdrew from their obedience, took possession of Ghaznín and Kábul and asserted his independence. On his death Sabuktegín father of the great Maḥmud succeeded to the kingdom, and it continued under the House of Ghazni. From this it passed to that of Ghor and thence into the possession of their slaves, one of whom was Táju'ddín Eldoz. The kings of Khwárizm succeeded, yielding in turn to the Great Ḳáán Changiz Khán. From him it reverted to Timur and is held by his descendants. May its fortune, through the enduring justice, unstinted clemency and ever increasing wisdom of the Imperial House, be blessed by an unfading prosperity.

AI´´N 16.
The Karóh or Kós.

The system of survey and measurement, as promoting the interests of civilization having deeply engaged the attention of His Majesty, directions were issued for the ascertainment of distances and their determination by the standard measure of the kós. The kós was fixed at 100 tanábs,2 each consisting of 50 Iláhi gaz, or of 400 poles ( báns) each pole of 12½ gaz. Both of these measurements give 5000 gaz to the kós.

Whenever His Majesty travels, the distances are recorded in pole-measurements by careful surveyors, and their calculations are audited by the superintendent and inspector.

Shér Khán fixed the kós at 60 jaríbs, each of 60 Sikandari gaz which measurement is employed in the Delhi country. In Málwah it consists of 90 tanábs of 60 gaz each and in Gujarát is called the cow kós, that is, the greatest distance at which the ordinary lowing of a cow can be heard, which is put by experts at 50 jaríbs. In Bengal it is called dhapiyah,1 which is the distance that a fast runner can traverse at one breath. Some assert that it is the distance within which a green leaf placed on the head of one who walks rapidly, will become dry.

In ancient tables of measurement by farsakh of distances and magnitudes, it is recorded that the circumference2 of the globe according to the method of the old geographers, was 8000 farsakh, but 6,800 of the modern school, while all agree in defining a farsakh as three kós. The former made the kós 3000 gaz, each gaz of 32 digits. The latter fixed it at 4000 gaz, each of 24 digits. The digit with both was the breadth of six ordinary barley-corns placed front to back in succession, and the breadth of each barley-corn was equal to the thickness of six hairs of the mane of a Turki horse. To short-sighted superficial observers, it would appear that these two systems differ in their estimate of the kós, but it is clear to the perspicacity of the far-seeing that their conclusion is the same, and the apparent difference is caused by the variance in the number of the digits as may be proved by the rule of proportion. This consists of four numbers, the first bearing the same ratio to the second, as the third does to the fourth, as for instance, two is to four as eight is to sixteen. Of the properties of this relation one is this that the product of the extremes is equal to the product of the means, as is evident from the example above mentioned. The proof is given in the 19th proposition of the 7th book of Euclid3 where the apparent contradiction is removed. The ratio of 3000 to 4000 is the ratio of 24 to 32. Although the four numbers are here severally distinct, the product of 3000 and of 32 which are the extremes, is equal to the product of 4000 and of 24 which are the means, namely, 96,000. Thus the result in both is the same, and the discrepancy in the number of yards is through the difference in the number of digits. Each farsakh therefore consists of 12,000 gaz (of 24 digits) according to the measure of the moderns or of 9000 (of 32 digits) according to the gaz of the ancients. The properties and virtues of these proportional numbers are manifold. Among them are the following: If one of the extremes be unknown, multiply the means together and divide by the known extreme, and the quotient is the unknown extreme. For instance in the given example, if 2, the first extreme, be unknown, by multiplying the means together which are 4 and 8, we get 32. Dividing this by 16, the quotient (2) is the unknown extreme. In the same way, if the other extreme, which is 16, be unknown, by dividing the product of the means by 2, the known extreme, the quotient is 16. Again, if the unknown quantity be one of the means, we divide the product of the extremes by the known mean, and the quotient is the unknown mean. For example, if 4, the first mean, be unknown, by dividing the product of the extremes, which is 32, by the known mean which is 8, the quotient is 4. And if the second mean, 8, be unknown, by dividing the product of the extremes by 4, the quotient is 8.

By the same means the distance and altitude from the base of a given object can be ascertained. A staff of a given height is fixed upright. Its shadow and that of the elevate object are measured. The ratio of the shadow of the staff to the staff is proportional to the ratio of the shadow of the object-height to the height itself. Again, a staff is fixed in the ground in the same line with the height to be measured and regarded from such a point that the line of vision may pass over the top of the staff to the summit of the object-height; the ratio of the distance from the stand-point of vision to the base of the staff is to the height of the staff as the ratio of the distance from the same point to the base of the object is to the height of the object. And if the altitude of an object be measured in a mirror or water and the like, a position must be taken whence the incident line of vision may strike the summit of the (reflected) object-height. The ratio of the distance of the reflected summit from the foot of the spectator is to his height as the ratio of the distance of the same point from the base of the object is to the height of the object. And if it be required to find the depth of a well, the observer must stand where his line of vision traversing the brink of the well touches the level bottom of the well on the side opposite to him. The ratio of the distance of the brink of the well from the foot of the observer is to his height as the breadth of the well is to its depth.1

Some take the baríd as the standard measure of length and make.

1 baríd equal to 3 farsakh.
1 farsakh ” 3 míl.
1 míl ” 12,000 báạ (pole).
1 báạ ” 4 gaz.
1 gaz ” 24 digits.
1 digit ” 6 barleycorns.
1 barleycorn ” 6 hairs of a mule's tail.

According to the Hindu philosophers—

8 barleycorns stripped of husks and laid breadth-ways make 1 digit (angusht).
24 digits ” 1 dast (cubit).
4 dast ” 1 ḍanḍ (pole or perch) or dhanuk.
2000 ḍanḍ ” 1 karóh or kós.
4 karóh ” 1 yoojana.

Some measure by the steps of a woman with a water-jar on her head and carrying a child in her arms, reckoning a thousand such steps to a kós.

Praise be unto God that the institutes of imperial administration have been completed and a general survey of the Empire, by the aid of divine grace, placed upon record. The numbers of the tribal contingents and the chronology of the ancient kings with some other particulars have cost considerable labour, and from the conflicting accounts received, I was well nigh relinquishing the task, but the decrees of fate cannot be resisted. I have set down what has best commended itself to my judgment, hoping that it may win lustre from the light of public acceptance and its errors escape the carping of illiberal criticism.

Erskine says that the whole country probably took the name of Dúki from its lying among the hills, Dúki signifying a hill in the language of the country, and may be opposed to Desht, or plain, Báber, p. 164.

This name (Kizil, red, básh, head) was given to the seven Turkish tribes, descendants of the captives released by Timur at the request of Safíu'ddín ancestor of Shaikh Ismạíl the first of the Suffavean monarchs. To the gratitude of these Carmanian captives the Safi, (Anglice Sophy) dynasty of Persia owed its elevation to the throne. See the XIVth Chapter of Malcolm's History of Persia. Round the red cap was twisted a turban in 12 plaits to the memory and in honour of the 12 Imáms. D'Herbelot. The term is applied generally to the Persians, and is so employed by Báber, p. 181.

According to Tieffenthaler 11 royal miles from Ghazni (about 19½ common miles) on the road to Ḳandahár, I, 21. The greater part of the account of this province is taken without acknowledgment by Abul Fazl from the Memoirs of Báber, which should be in the hands of the reader for comparison and illustration of this brief sketch. Cheghánserái contains one village only, according to Báber, and lies in the entrance of Kafiristán. The large river known as the Cheghánsarái river comes from the north-east behind Bajaur. Another smaller stream from the west after flowing through Pích, a district of Káfiristán, falls into it. Naghr is sometimes written Naghz. It is now unknown but Erskine conjectures it to have been on the upper course of the Kurram, and Farmul probably Urghún where the Persian race of Farmulis still exist. Niamatu'llah (Dorn's History of the Afgháns, p. 57) says that Farmul was originally the name of a river running between the borders of Kábul and Ghazni and the dwellers on its banks were called Farmulis. See Elphinstone's Cábul, p. 315 for a fuller account of this division of the Tájiks.

↩

The pass of Bádám Chashmah lies south of the Kábul river between Little Kábul and Báríkáb. Erskine.

↩

Báber confirms or originates this fact, and adds that those raised from seed brought from Khurásán are tolerable. He praises those of Bokhára, but pronounces those of Akhsi, a district north of the Jaxartes, to be beyond comparison the best.

↩

The word is so written by Báber, but, according to Cunningham, (p. 32,) the true name is Panchír, the Arabs writing j for the Indian ch. The modern spelling of Panjshir, adopted by Burnes, Leech and others, now prevails. A town named Panjshír is mentioned by Ibn Haukal and a mountain called Pashái was crossed by Ibn Batúta on his way from Kunduz to Parwán. The height of the Khawák pass over the Hindu Kush is marked in Curzon's map. (Russia in Central Asia) 13,000 feet. In this enumeration, as Erskine observes, Báber begins from the east. The whole passage is taken almost word for word from the Memoirs.

I have corrected the inaccuracies of the text by the true readings in Báber. For read and for read . For Bámián and Táliḳan, Erskine has Bámián and Saighán. He adds that Bázárak must be the straight road from Saifábád to Chármaghzár (p. 139). The Parwán route is that by Parwán to Chármaghzár which passes between Saifábád and the head of the valley of Sauleh-auleng (between Panjhir and Ghorband). Yangi-yúli is that by Doshákh direct upon Khinján. The Kipchák route runs up the valley of Ghorband and then over the mountains to the junction of the two rivers at Ḳila Beiza. The Shibertú pass is by Shiber. There seems to have been a direct road from that to Mader in dry weather; but in wet, people went round by Bámián, Saighán and the pass of Dendán Shiken, or the Tooth-breaker. Báber himself passed through Bámián and by the Shibertú Kotal on his march from Khorasan to Kabul in February 1507. Three of these roads, the of Strabo, leading to Bactria parted at Opián near Charikár, the Hupián of Báber, identified with Alexandria Opiana by Cunningham who gives the routes as follows:

1. The north-east road, by the Panjshír valley, and over the Kháwak pass to Anderáb.

2. The west road by the Kushán valley, and over the Hindu Kush Pass to Ghori.

3. The south-west road up the Ghorband valley and over the Hájiyak (Hájigak) Pass to Bámián.

The first of these roads, he continues, was taken by Alexander on his march into Bactriana from the territory of the Paropamisadæ, and by Timur on his invasion of India. It was also crossed by Lieut. Wood on his return from the sources of the Oxus. The second road, he supposes Alexander to have followed on his return from Bactriana, as Strabo mentions the choice of another and shorter route over the same mountains. The third was taken by Changiz Khán after his capture of Bámián; by Moorcroft and Burnes on their journeys to Bokhara; by Dr. Lord and Lt. Wood when driven back by the snow from the Kushán pass, and was surveyed by Sturt in 1840 after its successful passage by a troop of horse-artillery.

The S. ul M. states that by the command of Nádir Sháh, after his conquest of Kábul, the Afgháns made the Khaibar pass broad enough to allow 40 horsemen to ride abreast, and it was so swept and cleared that travellers were uninconvenienced by thorns and stones. Behind his commands was the sword. The Karpah or as Elphinstone writes it, Carrapa Pass is in the Mohmund country, but seldom traversed on account of its rugged defiles and the frequent crossings over the stony and rapid fords of the Cabul river. (p. 355).

↩

Erskine writes the word Dínkot and locates it near “Khushalghar” or “perhaps Kálabagh.” The road from Chaupárah to Farmnl was probably the direct road from Kániguram to Urghún. Chaupárah itself he places near “Kagalwála” on the Kurram.

Báber adds Pashái; Gabri is said in the Khulásatu'l Ansáb, to be a place in Bajaur. Dorn, p. 131.

See Vol. I, p. 371. The meaning there given to does not apply here. The word is constantly used by Báber either alone or in conjunction with I´l and Ulús, as at pp. 77, 133, 140, to signify the wild nomad tribes of the country. At p. 151 is the following passage: “As in Khorasán and Samarkand, the possessors of the Wolds are the Turks and Aimáks, so in this country, (Kábul) the inhabitants of the Waste are Hazáras and Afgháns. The most powerful of the Házaras in this territory, are the Sulṭán Masaúdi Hazáras, and the most powerful of the Afgháns are the Mehmend Afgháns.” This interpretation is also confirmed by Dorn who in his annotatious on Part 1st of his History of the Afgháns, p. 67, refers to this passage of the Ain i Akbari in discussing the origin of the Hazáras and Afgháns. The general name of Aimák or Eimák has become the special designation of a particular cluster of septs. The author of Ansábnámah i Afághinah employs the term plural of in the meaning of tribes, and in another passage speaks of the Chár Aimák consisting of 60,000 families. De Guignes (Hist. des Huns. I. Part II, p. 9) gives the eponymous founders of these four tribes or Aimáks and the curious origin of their names, but he is in error in making Nikodar the grandson of Hulagu (I. 283). Nikodar took the name of Ahmad Khán and according to D'Herbelot was the 9th of the Moghal Emperors of the race of Chengiz Khán. He reigned from A. D. 1282 to 1284. Dorn places the event related by Abul Fazl between A. H. 644–647. Elphinstone (Cábul) devotes an interesting chapter to the Aimáks and Hazárahs. The former, he says, live in camps, called Orde, derived from the Turkish Ordu from which name is derived the lingua franca of Hindustán and our English word, ‘horde.’ De Guignes applies the same name to the palaces of the four principal wives of Chengíz Khán. (III. 70.)

According to the Khuláṣat-u'l Ansáb (Dorn, p. 127) the Katánis possess no territory but are scattered in single families. From Niázi descend the Músakhail, Isakhail, Sambal Saharangh, conjointly called Niázis: they reside about the town of Makhad on the banks of the Indus as far as Dera Ismạíl Khán. The descendants of Pani reside about Shikárpúr. Another account places them, after their expulsion from their country, about Jeypúr and Jodhpúr where they subsist by traffic and carry merchandise to the Deccan. Nághar's descendants reside about Dera Gházi-khán, and Kákarís near Ḳandahár. The word ‘zai’ or ‘zacy’ as Raverty writes the word, signifies ‘son,’ and answers to Mac, Fitz, and O. Suffixed to the tribal name, it means ‘a man’ of the particular clan.

According to Dorn, Sháh Husain, Prince of Ghor, (pp. 46, 48, Part II.). Matu was the name of Shaikh Patni's daughter and Sháh Husain not being of Afghán extraction, his descendants were called by the maternal name of Matí. The name of Ghilzai was given on account of the clandestine amour, ‘ghil’ signifying thief, and ‘zai’ born, a son.

This is taken, according to Tieffenthaler, from the Fortunate Islands. Its true position is long. 69° 5' E., lat. 34° 30'. This meridian is the subject of a later portion of the A. A.

↩

It was the old capital of the country, says Cunningham, before the Macedonian conquest, and Ibn Haukal states that inauguration at Kábul was a necessary qualification for government in a king. Tieffenthaler names 4 gates, viz., Lahor, Kábul, Nạlbandi and Fatouhi, adding that near this last was an ancient castle with mud walls. It was pulled down by Aḥmed Abdáli, and the houses in front of the Fatouhi gate razed to the ground. A new fort was then erected of brick work ‘sur un lieu elevé,’ and its garden laid out by the governor.

Erskine says that there is a hill south of Kábul on which Ḳábil (Cain) the founder, is said to have been interred, but the only hill south-west is that known as Báber Bádsháh where Báber himself was interred, and is the great holiday resort of the people. Báber's description is as follows: “There is a small ridge which runs out from the hill of Sháh Kábul and is called Aḳábain, and there is besides another small hill on which stands the citadel. The fortified town lies on the north of the citadel.” Erskine identifies Aḳábain with that now called Ashikán Arifán, which connects with Báber Bádsháh. The Bálá Hissár is on the same ridge further east and south-east of the town. The beneficence of the Sháh Kábul mentioned in the text, is due to three streams that issue from it, two of which are in the vicinity of the shady and retired Gulkanah, the scene, as Báber not regretfully notes, of many a debauch. The position of the citadel and of the conjoined hills, has been carefully described by Forster. Travels, p. 73.

This shrine, is mentioned by Báber as one of the holy places of the Hindu jógis who came from great distances to cut off their hair and shave their beards at this spot. He rode out to Bigrám to see the great tree but was not shown the shrine ín 1505. Fourteen years later his curiosity was gratified. Gor Khatri was once a Buddhist monastery, (I. G.) then rebuilt into a Hindu temple, and now used as a sarái. I refer the reader to the Gazetteer for a sketch of the ancient and modern history of Pesháwar. His curiosity may be further gratified or confounded by the learned details of Cunningham of this ancient capital of the Gandhára kingdom. Gor or Kor Khatri, (the Grain Merchants' House,) he says, was applied to a cell in the Ranigát hill, sixteen miles north of Ohind, as well as to the great víhára of Kanishka at Pesháwar which is mentioned in the Memoirs of Báber. Pesháwar was also fortunate in possessing, during the first centuries of the Christian era, the begging-pot of Buddha and the holy pípal tree which had shaded the great eremite when he predicted the coming of the king Kanishka.

Var. Néknihár; in the I. G. Nangnihár and by Báber Nangenhár, or Nekerhár, the district south of the Kábul river in the province of Jelálábád, that on the north, bounded on the west and east by the Alingár and Kunar rivers, being Lamghán. It lies along the Kábul river on the south, and the name is said to mean ‘nine rivers.’ The I. G. affirms it to be a distortion of the ancient name of Nagarahára, identified by Lassen with the Nagara of Ptolemy regarded by Cunningham as identical with Jelálábád. Adínahpúr is south of the Kábul river.

↩

A garden of this name was planted by Báber at Keldeh-Kehár (Kuller Kaher) near Pind Dádan Khán, eleven years after that of the Bágh i Wafá near Adínahpúr south of the Kábul river. It was situated 10 kos from Bahrah in the middle of the hill of Júd on a level plot of ground in the centre of which was a lake which received the water of the surrounding hills and was about five miles in circumference. Bahrah or Bhíra is marked in the maps 20 kos from Kuller Kaher, but the name is said to be common in the district. I find mention of no other Bágh i Ṣafá nearer Jelálábád. Júd is apparently a spur of the Salt Range. Báber states that the tribes of Júd and Janjúhah descended from a common ancestor, are the ruling races of the district and of all the tribes between the Sind and Bahrah. The hill received its name from its supposed resemblance to Mount Ararat, (Júdi).

↩

Báber is more explicit. ‘On the south of the fort of Adínahpúr is the Surkh-rúd (runs into the Kábul river between Jagdalik and Gandamak). On the north is a detached mass of mountain dividing Nangenhár and the Lamghánát. Wherever it snows at Kábul, the snow falls also on the top of this mountain by which means the people of the Lamghánát can tell when it snows at Kábul.

Báber's words are: ‘The river of Cheghansarái, after passing through Kaferistán from the north-east, unites with the river Bárán, in the Balúk of Kámeh and then passes onwards to the east.’

It lies north-east from Kábul in the hill country according to Báber, who adds that their inhabitants are wine drinkers, never pray, fear neither God nor man, and are heathenish in their usages.

Copied from Báber whose account is as follows: “It is an animal larger than a squirrel with a kind of leathern web stretching between its fore and hind feet like a bat's wing. It is said that they can fly a bowshot from a higher tree to a lower one. I myself have never seen them fly, but have let one go beside a tree which it quickly clung to and ascended, and when driven away, expanded its wings like a bird and came to the ground without injury.” This must be the flying squirrel, which does not fly though wing-handed, but is supported by its membrane as it leaps.

↩

Báber likewise mentions the muskrat, but adds that he had never seen it; whence Erskine suggests the inference that it may not have been as common in India in his day as it is now.

Báber, Alah-sái, which Erskine says is now called Tugow. “It lies two or three farsangs east of Najráo from which you advance straight towards Alah-sái.” Báber places it between the cold and warm belts, and says that the birds take their flight across in the spring. Fowlers sit behind, scream and raise nets as the flights of fowl approach and intercept them. In the winter season the birds come down to the skirts of the hills and if in their flight they happen to pass over a vineyard they are no longer able to fly and are caught. A similar story is told of some fields near Whitby. (Notes to Marmion.) The pomegranates of Alah-sái are famous in the country, and are sent to Hindustán.

Upwards of sixty-five miles south-east from Kábul. Báber says that the Daroghá of the Túmán of Zúrmat, south of Kábul and south-east of Ghazni, resides at Gardéz which is not named as a separate Túmán. Next follows the Túmán of Farmul omitted by Abul Fazl. It is notable only in the fact that the Shaikhzádahs, who were treated, as Báber says, with such distinguished favour in Hindustán during the time of the Afgháns, were all of Farmul and descended from Shaikh Muḥammad Musalmán.

This tomb is mentioned by Elphinstone, Cábul, 433. He was a mystic of high authority and repute whom the great Sufi Maulaná Rúm looked up to as his master. He flourished under Bahrám Sháh son of Masạúd Sháh of Ghazni (A. D. 1118-52) to whom he dedicated his Hadíḳat úl Haḳáiḳ. He left also the usual Diwán which is necessary to every Persian poet's fame or ambition. He is said to have died in 1131 at the age of 62. Orient. Biog., Beale.

Ghazni is situated on the left bank of a river of the same name. It runs north to Loghar and joins the Kábul river. Báber says it may be large enough to drive four or five mills.

Albirúni in his Chronology, Chap. XIII alludes to the “famous well in the mountains of Farghána” which causes rain if contaminated and adduces several similar traditions. Báber says that he made strict inquiry for the well but no one could give him the slightest information about it. The discovery of the fraud at the tomb is due to his observation. A scaffolding had been erected over it, so contrived, that it could be set in motion when any one stood upon it, so that a looker on imagined it was the tomb that moved. He directed the persons who attended the tomb to come down from the scaffolding, after which no number of prayers or praises could persuade it to stir.

↩

This beautiful plain is better known as Koh Dáman the hill skirt of the Paghmán range. The gardens of Istalif at its north extremity, gay with flowers, its limpid ice-cold streams, the Arghwán trees with their vivid blossoms of scarlet and yellow seen in no other part of the country, its groves of oak and spreading plane trees have excited the eloquent admiration of Báber.

↩

It is needless to say that the nomenclature of native flora by Persian or Indian writers is extremely unscientific and vague, and beyond a few well-known kinds, the rest are indiscriminately expressed by a shuffling of the few botanical terms they possess, and the same name does duty for more than one flower. Thus nasrín is the eglantine and the narcissus; lálah the tulip and the red poppy and the prefix of gul which means both ‘rose’ and ‘flower’ increases the confusion. Again ‘rayáhín plur. of ‘rayhán ’ means particularly the Ocymum basilicum, hence any sweet smelling shrub, and further extended in a general sense to flowers of any kind. A glance at the Abul Fazl's description of the flora of India at p. 82, 1st Vol. suffices to show the breadth and freedom of his treatment. This large licence of expression in Oriental writers may be perhaps considerately permitted in their translators. This account of the tulips is taken directly from Báber's Memoirs who mentions that he himself thus named the tulip alluded to in the text. He also noticed in the skirts of the same hills below Parwán, the lálah i ṣad barg or hundred-leaved tulip, found only in one narrow spot emerging from the straits of Ghorband. This flower Erskine calls the double poppy. The etymology of Ghorband is given by Báber from band a steep hill pass, and ghor the country to which it mainly leads.

↩

This is mentioned by Báber. The name of Khwájah Rég i rawán (Khwájah quicksand) appears in the margin of Elphinstone's Turki copy of Báber's Memoirs as that of one of three personages known as the Seh Yárán or Three Friends who have given this name to a fountain in the Koh Dáman (Khwájah Seh Yárán) mentioned by Báber. The other two are Khwájah Maudud Chashti and Khwájah Khawend Sạíd, p. 147.

↩

The punctuation in the text is clearly misplaced. The asterisk after should be removed and intervene between and the former word losing its izáfat. Moorcroft describes these idols with his usual accuracy of observation, (II, 387). The ancient city of Bámián called Gulgula stood on a conical hill pierced with caves. Two colossal idols are cut out of the rock opposite the hill on which the city stood. The larger, said to represent a male, is called Sang-sal, the smaller called Shak-muma, is said to be a female, but the general appearance indicates no difference of sex. They stand in recesses cut out of the rock; and both have been mutilated. The height of the smaller figure is 117 feet; and the larger is probably a third more. Dead bodies have been occasionally found in subterranean chambers which have fallen to dust on exposure to the air. Moorcroft is convinced from his intimate acquaintance with the monasteries of Ladakh and Chanthan, and from the character of the painting and sculptures, that Bámián was the residence of a great Lama bearing the same relation to the Lamaism of the West as Lassa does to the East. The excavations which were connected by means of galleries and staircases, constituted the accommodation of the higher orders of the clergy and the insulated cells were the dwellings of the lower monastic society. The word Shak-muma, he considers a probable corruption of Shak-muni. Burnes, eight years later, visited Bámián and gives the height of the larger figure as 120 feet and an illustration of the idols as he saw them. He records the plastering and the vivid colours of the paintings but his opinion on their origin has little to recommend it. Masson (Journ. A. S. Soc. 1836, p. 188) ascribes them with a confidence not shared by his readers, to the Sassanian age and dynasty, A. D. 220.

Inland tolls. See Vol. I. 189, but Báber's words are: “The amount of the revenue of Kábul, whether arising from settled lands or raised from the inhabitants of the waste, is eight lakhs of Sháhrukhis.” The word ‘twenty’ must be a copyist's error for eight, as the Akbar Sháhi rupee being equal to 2½ Sháhrukhis, the whole would give exactly three lakhs and twenty thousand rupees. The word tamgha on the case in point, occurs later at p. 172 where Báber says, with reference to one of his officers. “The revenue of Kábul arises from a Tamgha. This tamgha I bestowed on him, and made him at the same time Darogha of Kábul and Panjhír, gave him the property tax levied from the Hazárahs aud conferred on him the office of Captain of my Guards.” Erskine notes tamgha as the stamp tax. All animals, goods, clothes &c. brought into the country are stamped or marked and a tax collected.

To the measurements of Abul Fazl, I may add the length of the kós, as fixed by Báber. On Dec. 19th, 1526 he gave orders, as his Memoirs record, to have the distance measured between Agra and Kábul; that at every 9 kós, a minár should be raised 12 gaz in height surmounted by a pavilion; that at every 10 kós, a post-house for 6 horses should be placed. The kós was fixed in conformity with the míl according to the following verse in Turki.

Four thousand paces are one míl
Know that the men of Hindustán call it a kuroh.
This pace is a cubit and a half;
Every cubit is six hand-breadths;
Each hand-breadth is six inches; and again each inch
Is the breadth of six barleycorns. Know all this.

The measuring tanáb, was to consist of 40 gaz or paces, each measuring one and a half of the cubit that has been mentioned and so equal to nine hand-breadths, and 100 of these tanábs were to go to one kós.—Erskine adds that the larger gaz or pace was 9 hand-breadths; the smaller or cubit, 6 hand-breadths.

The Elements of Euclid were restored to Europe by translations from the Arabic which were begun to be made under the Caliphs Harún and Mamún at a time when the very name of that geometrician had disappeared from the West. Naṣíru'ddín Ṭúsi (see p. 4, n. 4 of this Volume) in the preface to his Arabic Edition of the thirteen books of the Elements, describes their original composition by Euclid and the subsequent addition of two books by Hypsicles who is disguised under the name o (probably a copyist's error for ) of Ascalon. The attempts of succeeding geometricians to add to or explain the Elements are enumerated, and the reasons that led to his own. This edition, excellent in type but somewhat faulty in the orthography of the Arabic, was printed in Rome in 1594 and from it I transcribe the enunciation of the proposition referred to in the text.

i. e.:

“When four numbers are proportionals, the product of the 1st and 4th = the product of the 2nd and 3rd, and if the product of the 1st and 4th = the product of the 2nd and 3rd, the ratio of the 1st is to the 2nd as the ratio of the 3rd to the 4th.” The proof follows. The 7th, 8th and 9th books of Euclid treat of the fundamental properties of numbers on which the rules of arithmetic must be founded. The 10th is the development of all the preceding ones, geometrical and arithmetical. When the modern system began to prevail, these books were abandoned to the antiquary. In Smith's Dictionary art. Eucleides, the Greek and Arabic editions of the Elements are fully discussed and enumerated.
