Aurangzeb, in the year one thousand six hundred and seventy-six, being then absolute king, caused it to be enclosed by a bulwark and wall along the bank of the river which flows beneath it. This river is not very large, but its waters are very clear and good. The town is much frequented by Persian and Armenian traders, on account of the many kinds of excellent cloth manufactured there, chiefly various sorts of women's headdresses (touca) and cloth for veils (beatilha), scarlet and white, of exceeding fineness; also for the quantity of iron to be procured there. In this town there is plenty of fruit, such as amb (ambah) or mungiis (mango) — the best fruit to be found in India — oranges, limes, citrons, and grapes in abundance. There is also in this town, as throughout the kingdom of the Mogul, a large supply of vegetables of various sorts. On the road to this town we found every day different streams and brooks with good water, also villages, shady and pleasant woods, peopled with many varieties of animals of the chase, such as harts, stags, gazelles, wild oxen (\<»;YS), peacocks, cooing doves, partridges, quail (cordernizes), blackbirds (tordo), geese (patto), ducks (ades), widgeon (marecas), and many sorts of birds. I would warn the reader never to stray far from his companions, because he might come across robbers in these woods. When they find any person apart from his company they rob him. - [Previous: 44.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.44.4) - [Next: 45.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.45.2) - [Up: 45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.45) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.45.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.45.1) · Pramāṇa
