The distance between Māhūra and Kanoj is the same as that betweeen Kanoj and Bazāna, viz. 28 farsakh. If a man travels from Māhūra to Ūjain (Ujjayinī), he passes through villages which are only five farsakh and less distant from each other. At the end of a march of 35 farsakh, he comes to a large village called Dūdahi (near Latitpur in the Jhansi District); thence to Bāmahūr, 17 farsakh from Dūdahi ; Bhāilsān (Bhāyillasvāmin, Bhilsa), 5 farsakh, a place most famous among the Hindus. The name of the town is identical with that of the idol worshipped there. Thence to Ardīn (Ujjayinī), 9 farsakh. The idol worshipped there is called Mahākāla ; Dhār (Dhārā), 7 farsakh.
