Mâlkhet (Mânkir). Al Masûdi (A.D. 943) is the first Arab writer to mention Mânkir that is Mânyâkheta now Mâlkhet about sixty miles south-east of Sholâpûr. In relating the extinction of the great Brahma-born dynasty of India Al Masûdi states⁴ that at the time the city of Mânkir, the great centre of India, submitted to the kings called the Balhâras who in his time were still ruling at Mânkir.⁵
