'On the same day they had brought to my private fruit-house many mangoes from all parts of the province of the Deccan, Burhanpur, Gujarat, and the parganahs of Malwa. Although this province is well known and celebrated for the sweetness, freedom from stringiness, and size of its mangoes, and there are few mangoes that equal its mangoes—so much so that I often ordered them to be weighed in my presence, when they were shown to come to a ser or 1¼ ser or even more—yet in sweetness of water and delicious flavour and digestibility the mangoes of Chapramau, in the province of Agra, are superior to all the mangoes of this province and of all other places in India.'
