 Labor is the Metropolis of a Kingdom, built upon one of the five Rivers that 

 defcehd from the Mountains of the North to fwell the River Indus ; and give 

 the name of Peniab to all the Region which they water. This River at this time 

 flows not within a league of the Town, being fubjeft to change its Channel, and 

 many times does very great mifchief to the adjoyning Fields, through the rapid 

 deluges which ir makes. The City is large, and extends it felf above a league in 

 length. But the greateft part of the Houles, which are higher than thofe of 

 Agra and Deli, fall to ruine, by reafon of the exceffive rains that have overflowed 

 a great number of them. The King's Palace is an indifferent fair one, and is nor, 

 as formerly it was, upon the River, which is fall'n off above a quarter of a league 

 from it. There is Wine to be had at Labor. 



I muft obferve by the by, that after you have paft Labor, and the Kingdom of 

 Kakemtr, that lies upon it toward the North, none of their Women have any hair 

 upon any part of their bodies, and the Men but very little upon their chins.

 Before you go any farther, you are to take notice that all the way from Labor 

 to D^//,and from Debly to Agra, is a continual Walk let on both fides with fair 

 Trees -, an object raoft pleafing to the light : But in fome places the Trees are 

 decaid, and there is no care taken to Plant others in their ftead. 



Debly is a great Cicy near the River Gemma, which runs from the North to 

 the South, afterwards from the Weft to the Eaft; and after it has paft bv Agi% 

 and Kadtone, empties itlelf into the Ganges. After Cha • jeban had built the new 

 City of Gebmabad, which he call'd by his own Name ; and w T here he chole rather 

 to keep his Court, than at Agra, becaule the Climate is more temperate. Debly 

 is almoft come to ruine^ and indeed is nothing but an heap of "Rubbilh ; there be- 

 ing no other Houfes remaining but only for poor people. The Streets are narrow, 

 and the Houfes of Bambouc, as over all the reft of the Indies. Neither are there 

 above three or four Lords of the Court that refide at Debly, where they fet up 

 their Tents in great Enclofures, and in the fame manner lodg'd the Reverend 

 Jefuit that was at Court. 



Gebanabad , as well as Debly, is a great City 5 and there is nothing but a finale 

 Wall that makes the feparation. All the Houfes of particular men conflit of great 

 Enclofures, in the midft whereof is the place for Lodgings. The greateft part of 

 the Lords do not live in the City, but have their Houfes without, for the con- 

 veniency of the water. As you enter into Gebanabad from Debly, you meet with 

 a long and broad Street, on each fide whereof are Vaults, where the Merchants 

 keep Thops, being only plat-form'd at the top. This ftreet ends in the great Piazza 

 before the King's Houle ; and there is another very fair and large Street, that 

 runs toward another Gate of the fame Palace, in which live the great Merchants 

 that keep no Shops. 



The King's Palace takes up above half a league in circuit : The Walls are of 

 fair cut-Stone with Battlements. The Moats are full of water, pav'd with Free- 

 ftone. The great Gate of the Palace has nothing in it of magnificence y no more 

 than the firft Court, into which the great Lords may enter upon their Elephants.
