In the Deccan are also several rivers; such as the Nurbudda, the Tapty, the Poorna, the little Gunga (Godavery), the Krishna, the Bheema, and the Toongbudra. The three former rivers flow to the west, and the three latter eastward. So superficially do many of the rivers of the Deccan pass through the open country, that their waters might be rendered applicable to its irrigation; and although in some villages it is usual to dig channels and convey the water into their fields, it is not sufficiently practised; for the inhabitants do not appear to enjoy the sight of running streams, or to feel refreshed by breezes blowing over water. It sometimes happens, indeed, that men of rank, in travelling, prefer pitching their tents on the banks of streams, but they usually have the female apartments in the vicinity of the water. - [Previous: 350.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.350.1) - [Next: 350.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.350.3) - [Up: 350](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.350) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.350.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.350.2) · Pramāṇa
