Note 19 — Chapter II · ÁHMEDÁBÁD KINGS. a.d. 1403–1573.
Reading edition
There are two Máhims on the North Konkan coast, one about twenty-two miles north of Bassein (north latitude 19° 40′; east longitude 72° 47′), and the other in the northern extremity of the island of Bombay (north latitude 19° 2′; east longitude 72° 54′). The southern Máhim, to which Farishtah (II. 370–371) is careful to apply the term jaziráh or island, is the town referred to in the text. The northern Máhim, now known as Kelva Máhim, was, as is noted in the text, the head-quarters of a Hindu chief. ↑
