(1) "The engineers of the Belāla Kings did not confine their attention to building alone, but irrigation works were also taken in hand. Tradition has it that the waters of the Yagachi which flows through a valley distant 10 miles and divided by a range of hills from the Halabid valley, were brought by a channel to supply the capital with water and fill the neighbouring tanks; a deep cutting on the Hasan-Bailur road at the 16th mile, works the spot where the channel crossed the saddle of the hills."
