v2.c75.4

Millets, which included *jowar*, *bajra*, *kodon*, *sawan*, *mandua*, and formed the *kharif* crops, were cultivated in Malwa, Gujarat, Ajmer, Khandesh, Delhi, Lahore, Agra, Allahabad, Oudh, and Multan. *Bajra* is entered as *lahdara*, a name now obsolete. *Kudiri* (or *kuri*) and *barti* are both described as resembling *sawan*, and probably denote the lowest-grade millets such as *kutki* or *mijhri*; it is possible that some of these inferior crops may have gone out of cultivation.
