lost its former splendour, still retains its repu-

a n ' quarter, who pay a trifling duty to the Maho-
• or " medan ruler for the liberty they enjoy of paying
me their devotions at this favourite shrine,

md of Somnauth stands, but its vicinity, is cele-
ied brated in the tales of Hindoo mythology. It
the was on the plains near it on which the most
nst celebrated battle of the Jadoos was fought,
ud, TV e are informed, that in this action, which
lan took place about five thousand years ago, there
pot were six crore, or sixty millions, of combatants,
^th and that all were slain. About a mile from
r a Somnauth, at a place called Bhalka, the Hin-
doo pilgrim is shown a solitary peepul-tree,
try on the bank of the Sersutty river, which he is
ito assured stands on the exact spot where the
god Shree Krishen received the mortal wound
ias from an arrow that terminated his incarna-
itc tion."
