65.33.8

It is now time to speak of the defeat that befell Dara, but before we talk of that I will give the reader an account of the country, so that afterwards we may the more clearly continue our story. It should be known that close to Bhakkar seven rivers unite — namely, five issuing from the kingdom of Lahor, which have their sources in the mountains of Srinagar and Kashmir, and reach the province of Lahor by five openings. This is why the kingdom of Lahor is called Panjab — that is to say, ' Five Waters.' The names of the rivers are, firstly, Satleg (Sutlaj), on which there is a large town called Lodiana (Ludhianah). From it to the second river, called Biat (Biyas), is a distance of thirty-five leagues, and on this second river is a large town called Gonduval (Govindwal). From the second to the third river it is also thirty-five leagues ; this river is called the Ravi, which flows below Lahor. The fourth river, called the Chenau (Chinab), is distant twenty-five leagues from Lahor. This river also has on it a large and fine town called Vizirabad (Wazirabad). From this place it is twenty-eight leagues to the fifth river, called the Biat (Behat), which, too, has its town called Jelem (Jihlam).
