190.1.4

The territory of Lakhanawati has two wings on either side of the river Gang. The western side they call Ral [Rarh], and the city of Lakhan-or lies on that side; and the eastern side they call Barind [Barindah], and the city of Diw-kot is on that side. From Lakhanawati to the gate of the city of Lakhan-or, on the one side, and, as far as Diw-kot, on the other side, he, Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, 'Iwaz, [caused] an embankment [to be] constructed, extending about ten days' journey, for this reason, that, in the rainy season, the whole of that tract becomes inundated, and that route is filled with mud-swamps and morass; and, if it were not for these dykes, it would be impossible [for people] to carry out their intentions, or reach various structures and inhabited places except by means of boats. From his time, through the construction of those embankments, the route was opened up to the people at large.
