sea or river; consequently any small river would be called theLandaey Sin without
that being the proper designation of such river.
As to the discovery that the “ very important Lundai Sin is called the Swat
river,” it is a great mistake. The river of Panj-korah and the river of Suwat, or
Suwad, having united, join the river of Kabul and its tributaries at l)o-bandi, a
little to the north of the village of Shaikh Isma’il, and is then known as the
Landaey Sin, or Small or Little rivrr, until north of Atak it unites with the Aba
Sin, or Father River, or Father of Rivers, the name by which the Sindhu or Indus
is known in those parts by the inhaVRants generally. The Landaey Sin is also
shown in the map of the “Mullah’s Explorations” in 1876.
A person cannot stay long at Peshawar or in its district without soon knowing
what Landaey Sin refers to; and in “ An Account of the Province of Peshawar
which I submitted to Government in 1851, for which I received the thanks of the
Government of India, and which was subsequently published in the Transactions
of the Bombay Geographical Society in 1852, I described the Landaey Sin. In my
Pushto Dictionary, published in 1860, the Landaey Sin will be found described
at pp. 636 and 877, in my “ Account of Upper and Lower Suwat to the source of
the Suwat river,” in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for 1862, and
also in my ‘ Notes on Afghanistan,’ etc., pp. 215 and 243, and other places; and
by the name of Landaey Sin the united rivers have been known “ from time
immemorial.”
