And bordering on this tract is the country of Mag. The inhabitants are so many animals dressed up in human forms. They eat every animal of the earth and the sea that is procurable. They spare no animals. Their religion and law are all unsound. And they marry their sisters, born of different mothers. And the pronunciations of their language are similar to those of the people of Tibet. And in the southern limits of Bengal, is situate the vilayet of Odisah (Orissa). From Mandahdalul to Malwah and the passage of the Chilkah lake, are its limits. In the period of the sovereignty of Sultan Jalalu-d-din Muhammad Akbar Padshah Ghazi, this country being conquered by Kalapahar was entered in the Diwan-i-Akbari and annexed to the Nizamat of Bengal. And its short account is this, that Kalapahar, who was one of the nobles of Babar and who was bold and could work miracles, under order of Muhammad Akbar Padshah, engaged in conquering that country with 12,000 select cavalry. Rajah Makand Deo, the ruler of that country, was very luxurious and given to indolence and ease. For six months he admitted the public to his audience, and attended to the management of the affairs of his country, and for six months he gave his body rest, and went to sleep. And if anyone awoke him during his period of slumber, he was sure to be killed.
