مسالك الابصار في ممالك الامصار 2.25

2.25

I say: The learned Niẓām al-Dīn Yaḥyā b. al-Ḥakīm showed me an old work on the countries, in which it is mentioned that the villages of all of Multān are one hundred and twenty-six thousand villages registered in the dīwān; it and Delhi are in the fourth [clime], and most of the kingdom is in the second and third. All of it is spacious and its lands healthy, except the rice fields, which are unwholesome and whose tracts are disagreeable.
