Labor is the Metropolis of a Kingdom, built upon one of the five Rivers that
defcend 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 fubjedt to change kst Channel, and
many times does very great mifchief to the adjoyning Fields, through the rapid,
deluges which it makes. The City is large, and extends it felf above a league in
length. But the greatefl part of the Houfes, which are higher than thofe.of
Agra and Ddi, 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 not,
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 mull obferve by the by, that after you have pafl Labor^ and the Kingdom of
Kakemir, 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 Debly x and from Debly to Zgra^ is a continual walk fet on both fides with fair
Trees ^ an objed moft pleafing to the fight.* But in fome places the Trees are
decay’d, and there is no care taken to Plant others in their ftead.
Dehly is a great City near the River Gemma, which runs from the North to
theSouth, afterwards from the Weft to theEaft} and after it has paft by Agra
and Kadlone, empties it felf into the Ganges. After Cba-jeban had built the new
City of Gehanabad, which is call’d by his own Name * ? and where he chofe rather
to keep his Court, than at Agra, becaufe the Climate is more temperate. Debly
is almoft come to ruine, and indeed is nothing but an heap of Rubbiih} there be
ing no other Houfes remaining but only for poor people. The Streets are narrow,
and the Houfes of Bambonc, as overall 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.
Cehmabad, as well as Dehly, is a great City ; and there is nothing but a fingle
Wall that make the feparation. All the Houfes of particular men confift of great
Enclofures, in the midft whereof is the place for Lodgings. The great eft 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 Gehanabad from Dehly, you meet with
<1 long and broad Street, on each fide whereof are Vaults, where the Merchants
keep Ihops, being only plat-form’d at the top.This ftreet ends in the great Fiaz.^a
before the King’s Houfe; 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 circuit * The Walls ^are of
J? lr c ut-Stone with Battlements. The Moats are full of water, pav’d with Free-
th* T he sreat Gate the Palace has nothing in it of magnificence} no more
than the firft Court, into which the great Lords may enter upon their Elephants.
