This is noticed in the Ain-i-Akbari as Islamabad, which, 

 Mr. Blochmann informs me, is another name for Pakul, 

 near Pali, to the south of Delhi. I know nothing more of 

 this spring than this notice. It is said that "on the moun- 

 tains of Islamabad is a very deep spring of hot water ; it is 

 called Purbhuss, and is a great place of Hindu worship/' —

 ing is Prabhas kund, i. e., pilgrimage well.

 Narnoul district, of the Soobah of Agra ; the name may 

 read, according to Mr. Blochmann, Kanun, Kanon, Kaon,
