As for the other stables of the King, where he has also some fine horses, they are poor places, badly built, and do not deserve to be mentioned. The Jumna is a fine river which has large boats upon it, and, after having passed Agra, it loses its name in the Ganges at Allahabad. The King keeps many small brigantines at Jahanabad for pleasure, and they are highly decorated after the manner of the country.
