These men are venerated among Mahomedans ; these, too, are scattered in different parts of the empire. Their principal seat lies forty leagues distant from the city of Dihli, in the direction of Lahor. The place is near the Jamnah river, where there are twelve villages called Barre (Barhah). These hold themselves to be fine soldiers, learned men, virtuous and saintly, as has been seen in my Second Part (II. 9). They can collect twelve thousand cavalry and a large number of infantry. There are others called Seczada (Shekhzadah), who are descended from the family of Muhammad, but very remote from the Sayyids. This race hold land, and also remain in service at the courts, great and petty ; they are very subtile, of great intelligence, very litigious, and great lawyers. Others become recluses and holy men, and by that false pretence gain a living. - [Previous: 238.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.3) - [Next: 238.5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.5) - [Up: 238.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.4) · Pramāṇa
