Beveridge) 932.12.4 - **Language:** English ### [932.12.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.4) The citron (P. \_turunj\_,\[1877\] \_C. medica\_) is another of the fruits resembling the orange. Bajaurīs and Sawādīs call it \_bālang\_ and hence give the name \_bālang-marabbā\_ to its marmalade (\_marabbā\_) confiture. In Hindūstān people call the \_turunj bajaurī\_.\[1878\] There are two kinds of \_turunj\_: one is sweet, flavourless and nauseating, of no use for eating but with peel that may be good for marmalade; it has the same sickening sweetness as the Lamghānāt \_turunj\_; the other, that of Hindūstān and Bajaur, is acid, quite deliciously acid, and makes excellent sherbet, well-flavoured, and wholesome drinking. Its size may be that of the Khusrawī melon; it has a thick skin, wrinkled and uneven, with one end thinner and beaked. It is of a deeper yellow than the orange (\_nāranj\_). Its tree has no trunk, is rather low, grows in bushes, and has a larger \[Sidenote: Fol. 287.\] leaf than the orange. The \_sangtāra\_\[1879\] is another fruit resembling the orange (\_nāranj\_). It is like the citron (\_turunj\_) in colour and form, but has both ends of its skin level;\[1880\] also it is not rough and is somewhat the smaller fruit. Its tree is large, as large as the apricot (\_aūrūq\_), with a leaf like the orange's. It is a deliciously acid fruit, making a very pleasant and wholesome sherbet. Like the lime it is a powerful stomachic, but not weakening like the orange (\_nāranj\_). - [Previous: 932.12.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.3) - [Next: 932.12.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.5) - [Up: 932.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.4) · Pramāṇa
