In the town, which lies at the foot of the hill, there dwell many musicians, who gain a livelihood with their instruments ; and many persons maintain that it was on this mountain that the god Apollo first started Hindu music. Continuing our route, we came in three days to the river called the Chambal, at which is the town named Dolpur (Dholpur), where Aurangzeb gave battle against his brother Dara (Dara Shukoh), in the year one thousand six hundred and fifty-six \[correctly, 1658\], at which I was present, and to which, further on, I shall refer \[I. 182-184\]. Thence, in four days, we arrived at the city of Agrah, having ended by doing four hundred and sixty leagues, for such is the number reckoned from Surat as far as Agrah. At this place the governor assigned to us a handsome house to stay in.
