Marching from Kanoj towards the east, you come to Bārī, 10 farsakh ; Dūgum, 45 farsakh ; the empire of Shilahat,¹⁷ 10 farsakh ; the town Bihat (modern Bettia), 12 farsakh. Farther on the country to the right is called Tilwat (Tirabhukti, Tirhut), the inhabitants Tarū, people of very black colour and flat-nosed like the Turks. Thence you come to the mountains of Kāmru (Kāmarūpa), which stretch away as far as the sea.
