c8.s3.15

In the seventh century the kingdom of *Tâki* was divided into three provinces, namely, *Tâki* in the north and west, *Shorkot* in the east, and *Multân* in the south. The province of *Tâki* comprised the plains of the Panjâb, lying between the Indus and the Biâs, to the north of the Multân district, or the whole of the Chaj Doâb, together with the upper portions of the three Doâbs of Sindh-Sâgar, Richna, and Bâri. The province of *Shorkot* comprised the middle portions of these Doâbs, and the province of *Multân* their lower portions. It is probable, also, that the possessions of Multân may have extended some distance to the west of the Indus as well as to the east of the Satlej, as was the case in the time of Akbar.
