THE hides, under the name of Chembelis, were formerly an article of 
trade.* ‘The country about its source is called Charmma-dwfpa, which 
is certainly between waters or rivers, which abound in that country. 
There is a town called Sibnagara, or more generally Seonah, the town 
of Siva, after whom this river is denominated. 
Tas Sipra, Sipra, Cshipra, called also the Avant? river, falls into 
the Chambal. 
Tae Sindhu or Sind, is piece eee mentioned in the Purdias, as 
well as the little river Para, commonly called Parvatz, which, after 
winding to the north of Narwar, falls into the Sindhu near Viyayagar. 
Tt is famous for its noisy falls, and romantic scenes on its banks, and 
the numerous fiocks of cranes and wild geese to be seen there, particu- 
larly at Buraicha west of Narwar. ‘The next is the little river Paujé, 
which falls into the Yamund, and is called in the spoken dialects Pauja, 
and in the maps Pohuj. 
Tue Vetravati, or abounding with withies, is a ‘most sacred river, 
Vetra or Betra is 2 withy, and so is Vithr in the old Saxon. In the 
spoken dialects andin English, the letter R is omitted; in Hind? they 
say Beit and in English With or withy. In the spoken dialects, it is 
called Betwé and Betwénité. 
Tae river Dussaun, which falls into the Vetravat? is probably the
