villages and llidts, with a population of about 2,000. Supplies are plentiful

The plain of Urzu extends about 30 to 40 miles each way: its southern
end is covered with bushes, and is very stony, but towards the centre it has
a fine light soil. The plain stretches about 16 miles south of Daulatabad.
It has seven little village forts, generally surrounded by huts of boughs
