Koil is also mentioned in Ibn Battuta's Rihla, when Ibn Battuta along with 15 ambassadors representing Ukhaantu Khan, the Mongol Emperor of the Yuan dynasty in China, travelled to Kol city en route to the coast at Cambay ( in Gujarat ) in 1341.
According to Ibn Battuta, it would appear that the district was then in a very disturbed state since the escort of the Emperor's embassy had to assist in relieving Jalali from an attacking body of Hindus and lost one of their officers in the fight.
Ibn Batuta calls Kol " a fine town surrounded by mango groves ".
From these same groves the environs of Kol would appear to have acquired the name of Sabzabad or " the green country ".
