The original says N.E. and S.W. but in our best and
latest map of Hindoostan, the direction is nearly E. and W. or perhaps
E. by N. and W. by S. - E.]
The 9th we went four coss by a very bad stony road to Luneheira.
Between this and the ruins, at three c. from Mandow, is a fine tank
inclosed with stone, having a banqueting-house in the middle, and a fair
house on the south side, now in ruins, from which to the
banqueting-house is an arched bridge. The 10th to Dupalpore, fourteen
c. a small town and the road good. The 11th twelve long cosses to
Ouglue, or Oojain, a fair city, in the country called Malwah, a
fertile soil abounding with opium. In this country the coss is two
English miles. We halted the 12th. The 13th to Conoscia eleven c.
14th, eight c. to Sunenarra, or Sannarea, by a bad stony way, among a
thievish people, called graciae, inhabiting the Hills on our left
hand, who often plunder the caffilas, or caravans, and a hundred of
them had done so now to a caravan, if we had not prevented them by our
arrival. This is a small town, short of which we passed a great tank
full of wild fowl. The 15th ten c. to Pimelegom, a shabby aldea. At
the end of the fourth coss we passed Sarampore, or Sarangpoor, a great
town with a castle on its south side, and a handsome town-house.
