Proceeding thus in religious progrefs from hill to hill, 

 J pafled through the Shaum country, and defcending 

 the hills, arrived in Cafhmir, where 1 halted for devo- 

 tional purpofes, as well as to profecute my (tudies. 

 From Cafhmir I went through Thibet to the Great Jo- 

 wallah, which is iituated in a country where fire rifes 

 out of the ground for the fpace of twelve cofs. In this 

 jowallah whoever wants to drefs victuals, or boil wa- 

 ter, they have only to dig a little fiflure into the fur- 

 face of the ground, and place the article thereon, which 

 will ferve without wood. On this fide of Peifhore, where 

 the Sendhe fait is produced, there is a village called 

 Dudun Khan's Pend, adjoining to the fait pits. 

 The Rajah of that country was called Rajah Biienda 

 Singh. I had here fhut myfelf up in a Gowpba* or 

 cell, where I vowed to remain doing penance for a 

 period of twelve years. Vermin or worms gnawed my 

 flefh, of which the marks frill remain; and when one 

 year had elapfed, then the Rajah opened the door of 

 the cell, whereupon I fa-id to him, M either take my 

 " curfe, or make me ^jer-jeja^ or bed of fpikes ;" and 

 then that Rajah made for rne the Jer-Jeja I now oc- 

 cupy. During the four months of the winter I made 

 jel-jeja upon this feat. Jel-Jeja is, that night and day 

 water is let fall upon my head. From thence, by the 

 Sindh country I went to Hingoolauje, (a mountain de- 

 dicated to Bebee.) All the country to the weft and 

 fouth I travelled over upon this fer-feja, coming at 

 length to Preyago, or Allahabad ; and palling by 

 Cafhi, or Benares, I went to the temple of Jagger- 

 nauth ; and vifiting Balajee, proceeded on to Rami- 

 flier ; and, after vifiting that place, I journied on to- 

 Surat. In Surat I embarked in a vefTel, and went by 

 fea to Mufcat in twelve days ; and thence returning, 

 came to Surat again. Mr. Boddam was then at Surat; 

 and he afterwards went to Bombay. I Itayed two 

 years at Surat. Mr. Boddam granted me fomething 

 to fubfifr. on with my followers, and built a houfe for 

 mcj and (till my Ckcilas, or difciples, are there. It
