تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.54.2

13.54.2

Let us return to what we were about, and say: we travelled from the city of Barūn to the halting-place of Amwārī, then to the halting-place of Kajarā, where there is a great tank about a mile long, with temples on its banks containing idols, which the Muslims have mutilated. In its middle are three domes of red stone in three storeys, and at its four corners are four domes. A group of the jūgīs live there; they have matted their hair, and it has grown so long that it reaches their full height, and their complexions have become very yellow from their austerities. Many Muslims follow them to learn from them, and they say that anyone afflicted with leprosy or elephantiasis who stays with them for a long time is cured, by the permission of God Most High.
