a corruption from AHMED ABAD, or Ahmed's city, (so called from a king of that name); a large and populous city of Indostan, and the capital of the province of Guzerat. It is situated in E. Long. 72° 12'. N. Lat. 23° 0'. Amadabat was formerly called Guzerat; and by Shah Jehan nicknamed Gherd-abid, or the habitation of dust, because it was much inclosed therewith. It was the seat of the Guzerat kings, as it is now of the Mogul governor. The city stands in a beautiful plain; and is watered by the little river Sabremetti, which, though not deep, in time of rains overflows the plains prodigiously. The walls are built with stone and brick, flanked at certain distances with great round towers and battlements. It
