502 Report on the Turan Mall Hill. [No. 6. 



True believers escape sad misfortunes, 



Kal overpowers all their foes. 

 Kal, well knowing me to be his servant, 



Hath honored and exalted me. 

 I acknowledge God, to be our father, 



As a mother, nurseth her child. 

 The power of Kal hath sustained me, 



My heart is my only Guru. 

 When inspiration lent me support, 



I spoke, not of my own accord. 

 Great Kal, imparted to me his wisdom, 



Without which my efforts were vain. 

 I was no one, when God first noticed me, 



I was great by His selection. 

 Listen then, all ye children of the earth, 



For my tenets are from above.

 from Chiculda, on the Nerbudda. Its summit is to be gained from all 

 of these above named places, but for the European traveller, the 

 Chiculda and Sooltanpura or Sydah routes are the only practicable ones. 

 From Chiculda the measured road or rather timber track is 43 miles in 

 length and with the exception of the Tirapani Ghaut (some 10 miles 

 from the Turan Mali Lake) no difficulties of any moment are to be 

 surmounted. Here the ascent for a mile and a quarter, is very great, 

 being about 1 in 2^, and taxes the energy of man and beast to the 

 utmost. However, it is capable of great improvement and with a little 

 labor and money expended might be made comparatively easy. At
