Between the Ganges, the Ramganga and the Himalayan foot the Katehriya Rajput clans hold villages and ravines, and their chiefs live in forts of mud and brick.
They pay the Ghurids at Badaun when a column is within a week's ride and withhold it otherwise. Sambhal and Amroha are their towns; Ahichchhatra (Ramnagar), Panchala's old capital, is a ruin.
