238.2.5

The width, beginning from Surat, which is on the south, until you reach the town of Burhanpur, is one hundred and sixty-eight leagues; from Burhanpur to Agrah it is two hundred and eighty-eight leagues; from Agrah towards the north, up to the boundary of the hill rajahs, of whom I have spoken, there may be one hundred and twenty leagues; from the town of Tata (Tattah), which is on the south, as far as Multan, there are two hundred and seventy-eight leagues; from Multan to Lahor it is one hundred and seventy-eight leagues; from Multan to Lahor it is one hundred and forty-four leagues; from Lahor to the mountains of Kashmir it is one hundred and sixty leagues. The reader must remember that the kos or leagues of the Mogul country are different from the leagues of Europe, for ten European leagues make twelve of India, and this is the traveller's ordinary day's journey.
