JUMMANE'AH, a town of Hindooftan, in Candeifli : 
ten miles north-eaft of Peploud. 
JUMMEE'DY, a town of Bengal: twenty-four miles 
fouth of Ghidore. 
JUMMOO' or Jumbo, a town of Hindooftan, and ca¬ 
pital of a diftrift in Lahore, to which it gives name. It 
is fituated on the fide of a hill, on the river Rawee, and 
divided into upper and lower towns. It is a mart ol con- 
fiderable confequence. Previoully to Nadir Shah’s inva- 
fion of India, the common road from Delhi to Cachemire 
lay through Sirhind Lahore and Heerpour. Since the in¬ 
road of the Perfians, Affghans, and Mahrattas, but efpe- 
eially ftnee the period of the Seik conqueft, that track has 
been rendered unfafe to merchants, and is now difufed ; 
this obftruftion diverted the Cachemirian trade into the 
channel of Jumbo, which, being ftiutup from the Punjab by 
a ftrong chain of mountains, difficult of accefs to cavalry, 
has been preferred to the Lahore road, though the jour¬ 
ney is tedious, and the expences of merchandife increafed. 
Runzeid Deve, the chief of Jumbo, perceiving the bene¬ 
fits which would arife from the residence of Mahometan 
merchants, held out to them many encouragements, and 
obferved towards them a. diiinterefted and honourable 
condudr. Negative virtues are only expefted from an 
Afiatic defpot, and under fuch a fanftion his fubjefts 
might deem themfelves fortunate : but the chief of Jumbo 
went farther than the forbearance of injuries ; he avowedly 
protected and indulged his people, particularly the Ma¬ 
hometans, to whom he allotted a certain quarter ot the 
town, which was thence denominated Mogulpour; and, 
that no referve might appear in his treatment of them, a 
mofque was ereCled in the new colony. The Hindoos 
once complained to this chief that the public wells of the 
town were defiled by the veffels of the Mahometans, and 
delired that they might be reftrifted to the water ot the 
liver; but he abruptly difmiffed the complaint, faying 
that water was pure element defigned for the general ufe 
of mankind, and could not be polluted by the touch of 
any clafs of people. An adminiftration fo munificent and 
judicious, at the fame time that it enforced the refpeCt of 
his own fubjeCts, made Jumbo a place of extenfive com¬ 
mercial refort, where all deferiptions of men experienced 
in their perfons and their property a full fecurity. The 
articles of merchandife conftituting the trade of Jumbo 
and Cachemire, are tranfported by men, ufually Cache- 
mirians, whofe burthens are heavy, two of them making 
the load of a ftrong mule, and the hire is fixed at the rate 
of four rupees for each carrier. The fhauls, when ex¬ 
ported from Cachemire, are packed in an oblong bale, 
containing a certain weight or quantity, which, in the 
language of the country, is termed a biddery ; the outward 
covering of which is a buffalo’s or ox’s hide, ftrongly 
lewed with leather thongs. As thefe packages are fup- 
pofed to amount, with little variation, to a value long 
fince afeertained, they are feldom opened until conveyed 
to the deftined market. A Cachemirian porter carries a 
load as a Scotchman carries his pack. It appears that 
Jumbo continued to increafe its power and commerce un¬ 
til the year 1770, the period of Runzeid Deve’s death, 
when one of his Ions, contrary to the intention and ex- 
prefs will of his father, feized on the government, put to 
death one of his brothers, the intended fucceffor, and im- 
prifoned another; who, having made his efcape, fought 
the protection of the Seiks. Pleafed in having obtained 
fo favourable a pretext for entering Jumbo, which they had 
attempted in vain during the adminiftration of Runzeid 
Deve, the Seiks promifed to efpoufe the fugitive’s caufe' 
with vigour. A lmall fum had been annually exafted by 
them from Jumbo, but in a much lefs proportion than 
what was levied in the adjacent territories. The Seiks 
i&deed, aware of the refpeftable ftate of the Jumbo force, 
J u M 
and the abilities of the chief, were contented with the 
name of tribute. The molt valuable divifion of the Jum¬ 
bo diftrifts lay in the plain country, forming a part of the 
northern Punjab; which, under pretence of affording al- 
filtance to the perfon who lately fought their protection, 
a body of Seiks laid walte; the difpute was not ended in 
1782 : feventy-fix miles north-eaft of Lahore, and 285 
north-weft of Delhi. Lat. 33. N. Ion. 74. 5. E.

through the gorges of the mountains, in about lat. 30. o. 
near Schaurampour. Between lat. 29. and 30. in the pro¬ 
vince of Sirhiad, near the weftern banks of the Jumna, 
are the famous plains of Paniput and Carnawl, celebrated 
for the frequent battles fought on their wide expanfe. See 
the article Hindoostan, vol. x. The river pafles the 
cities of Agra and Delhi, and falls into the Ganges at 
Allahabad.
