In going from Kābul into the Lamghānāt,[778]—if people come by Qūrūq-sāī, one road goes on through the Dīrī-pass, crosses the Bārān-water at Būlān, and so on into the Lamghānāt,—another goes through Qarā-tū, below Qūrūq-sāī, crosses the Bārān-water at Aūlūgh-nūr (Great-rock?), and goes into Lamghān by the pass of Bād-i-pīch.[779] If however people come by Nijr-aū, they traverse Badr-aū (Tag-aū), and Qarā-nakariq (?), and go on through the pass of Bād-i-pīch. Although Nīngnahār is one of the five _tūmāns_ of the Lamghān _tūmān_ the name Lamghānāt applies strictly only to the three (mentioned below). One of the three is the `Alī-shang _tūmān_, to the north of which are fastness-mountains, connecting with Hindū-kush and inhabited by Kāfirs only. What of Kāfiristān lies nearest to `Alī-shang, is Mīl out of which its torrent issues. The tomb of Lord Lām,[780] father of his Reverence the prophet Nuḥ (Noah), is in this _tūmān_. In some histories he is called Lamak and Lamakān. Some people are observed often to change _kāf_ for _ghain_ (_k_ for _gh_); it would seem to be on this account that the country is called Lamghān. The second is Alangār. The part of Kāfiristān nearest to it is Gawār (Kawār), out of which its torrent issues (the Gau or Kau). This torrent joins that of `Alī-shang and flows with it [Sidenote: Fol. 133b.] into the Bārān-water, below Mandrāwar, which is the third _tūmān_ of the Lamghānāt. Of the two _bulūks_ of Lamghān one is the Nūr-valley.[781] This is a place (_yīr_) without a second[782]; its fort is on a beak (_tūmshūq_) of rock in the mouth of the valley, and has a torrent on each side; its rice is grown on steep terraces, and it can be traversed by one road only.[783] It has the orange, citron and other fruits of hot climates in abundance, a few dates even. Trees cover the banks of both the torrents below the fort; many are _amlūk_, the fruit of which some Turks call _qarā-yīmīsh_;[784] here they are many, but none have been seen elsewhere. The valley grows grapes also, all trained on trees.[785] Its wines are those of Lamghān that have reputation. Two sorts of grapes are grown, the _arah-tāshī_ and the _sūhān-tāshī_;[786] the first are yellowish, the second, full-red of fine colour. The first make the more cheering wine, but it must be said that neither wine equals its reputation for cheer. High up in one of its glens, apes (_maimūn_) are found, none below. Those people (_i.e._ Nūrīs) used to keep swine but they have given it up in our time.[787] Another _tūmān_ of Lamghān is Kūnār-with-Nūr-gal. It lies somewhat out-of-the-way, remote from the Lamghānāt, with its borders in amongst the Kāfir lands; on these accounts its people give in tribute rather little of what they have. The Chaghān-sarāī [Sidenote: Fol. 134.] water enters it from the north-east, passes on into the _bulūk_ of Kāma, there joins the Bārān-water and with that flows east.
