⁴ Compare Fakhur-ud-din Mubarak Shah's estimate (vide A.M., 77) that of all the existing varieties of sword the Indian was the best and the finest in temper. Among other varieties of Indian swords he makes a special mention of one rare variety named Man-gohar. Usually the armouries and treasures of monarchs did not possess more than one of this kind for it required so much time, labour and wealth and exceptional skill to manufacture it. Among the leading sword manufacturers of his age, he mentions those of Kuraj (?) on the Indus.
