⁵³ Nizāmuddīn and Ferishta call the place Khairābād. According to the latter it was situated 3 stages from Multan (T.A., I, 282; Ferishta, I, 167, line 11). Yahyā and Badaonī have Khusruābād (T.M.S., 219 and Badaonī, I, 295, Ranking Trs. I, 389). Neither of the place names is traceable on the maps now. It may, however, be the Khusruābād of Ibn Battūta, who, while describing his journey from Sindh to Delhi, says that on the way from Uchch to Multan, he crossed the river of Khusruābād at a distance of ten miles (probably he meant 10 *kos*) from the latter. Ibn Battūta, Def. and Sang., III, 117; Also Hodivala, 408.
