History of the Qaraunah Turks in India c12.257

c12.257

At the end of the list the MS. has اقليم تلنج and اقليم دور سمندر, namely, the provinces of Telang and Dwarsamudra. The province meant is Dwarsamudra for Telang has already been included in the list, and the confusion is probably due to the author's ignorance of the geography of the far South. Quatremère in his ‘*Notices des Manuscrits*’ (Tome XIII. pp. 167—70), makes the same mistake and mentions Telang with Dwarsamudra again. Barani's list is not exhaustive, for he mentions only twelve important provinces,¹¹⁰ which are more or less the same as mentioned in the *Masālik*.
