Beveridge) 932.12.5 - **Language:** English ### [932.12.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.5) The large lime which they call (H.) \_gal-gal\_\[1881\] in Hindūstān is another fruit resembling the orange. It has the shape of a goose's egg, but unlike that egg, does not taper to the ends. Its skin is smooth like the \_sangtāra's\_; it is remarkably juicy. The (H.) \_jānbīrī\_ lime\[1882\] is another orange-like fruit. It is orange-shaped and, though yellow, not orange-yellow. It smells like the citron (\_turunj\_); it too is deliciously acid. The (Sans.) \_sadā-fal\_ (\_phal\_)\[1883\] is another orange-like fruit. This is pear-shaped, colours like the quince, ripens sweet, but not to the sickly-sweetness of the orange (\_nāranj\_). The \_amrd-fal\_ (sic. Ḥai. MS.—Sans. \_amrit-phal\_)\[1884\] is another orange-like fruit. The lemon (H. \_karnā\_, \_C. limonum\_) is another fruit resembling the orange (\_nāranj\_); it may be as large as the \_gal-gal\_ and is also acid. The (Sans.) \_amal-bīd\_\[1885\] is another fruit resembling the orange. After three years (in Hindūstān), it was first seen to-day.\[1886\] They say a needle melts away if put inside it,\[1887\] either from its acidity \[Sidenote: Fol. 287b.\] or some other property. It is as acid, perhaps, as the citron and lemon (\_turunj\_ and \_līmū\_).\[1888\] (\_m.
