Jáblpur, or Jávalpur, in Málva, Lat. 23°, Long. 79° . . . . जबलपुर Hind. (Sanskr.)
"Fire-(heat)town." This name, as we were told, is connected with the Sanskrit word
jvála, fire; perhaps in allusion to the heat in this particularly excessive.
The transposition of the vowels would be the same as in Hind. Bérham for the Sanskrit
Bráhma.
A less probable explanation, also given to us by the natives, derives it from the Arabic
word jébel, or jábál, mountain. But we find scarcely any genuine Arabic word, except
personal names, used in Hindostáni in the composition of geographical names.
