تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.4.1

13.4.1

Its name begins with qāf and a hard jīm. This mountain of Qarājīl is a great mountain extending for three months' journey, and between it and Dihlī is a journey of ten [days]. Its sultan is one of the greatest of the infidel sultans. The Sultan had sent Malik Nakbiya, chief of the dawīdārs, to make war on this mountain with a hundred thousand horsemen and many foot soldiers besides. He took the city of Jidya — vocalised with i after the j, no vowel on the undotted d, and a after the y — which lies at the foot of the mountain, and took what lay around it, taking captives, laying waste and burning. The infidels fled to the top of the mountain, abandoning their lands, their wealth and their king's treasuries.
