 Gutenkarte » Himalayan Journals — Volume 1 » Nerbudda
In a geographical point of view the range of hills between Burdwan and the Soave is interesting, as being the north-east continuation of a chain which crosses the broadest part of the peninsula of India, from the Gulf of Cambay to the junction of the Ganges and Hoogly at Rajmahal.
The Paras-nath range is, though the most difficult of definition, the longer of the two parallel ranges; the Vindhya continued as the Kymore, terminating abruptly at the Fort of Chunar on the Ganges.
He states that he was for three years in charge of a district on the Nerbudda, and considered himself acquainted with every circumstance that occurred in the neighbourhood; yet, during that time, 100 people were murdered and buried within less than a quarter of a mile of his own residence!

 Bombay
The Archdiocese of Bombay comprises the Island of Bombay with several outlying churches in the neighbouring Island of Salsette, and a large portion of the Bombay Presidency stretching northwards from the river Nerbudda as far as Quetta, including the districts of Gujerat (Broach, Baroda, Ahmedabad), Kathiawar, Cutch, Sind and a portion of Beluchistan.
Most of the archdiocese is thus separated from its centre in Bombay Island by a distance of about 200 miles, the intervening country being assigned to the Diocese of Damaun.
The Island of Salsette and the coast country as far as the Nerbudda were placed under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Damaun who also received personal jurisdiction in Bombay Island over all who came from Goa, or from any other district under the Portuguese ecclesiastical regime.

The Naga chiefs appealed to Vishnu for relief, and he promised to appear in the person of Purukutsa to help them.
Thereupon the Nagas sent their sister Narmada (the Nerbudda river) to this Purukutsa, and she conducted him to the regions below, where he destroyed the Gandharvas.
In the Mahabharata, apparently, a race of people dwelling in the hills and wilds is so called.

 Ajmere-Merwara
The province is on the border of what may be called the arid zone[?]; it is the debatable land between the north-eastern and south-western monsoons, and beyond the influence of either.
The south-west monsoon sweeps up the Nerbudda[?] valley from Bombay and crossing the tableland at Neemuch[?] gives copious supplies to Malwa[?], Jhalawar[?] and Kotah[?] and the countries which lie in the course of the Chambal river.
It is only when the monsoon is in considerable force that Merwara gets a plentiful supply from it.

In the earlier part of his official career he had been assistant in the Saugor and Nerbudda district, where he gained an immense amount of experience, and an accurate knowledge of Central India which afterwards was turned to good account.

 A Brief Study of the Pindaris in Madhya Pradesh. P. F. McEldowney, in the India Cultures Quarterly, 1971
The mode of existence and style of life of the Pindaris is best exemplified by a general description of one of their raids or labhurs.
After crossing the Nerbudda, when it was low enough, they would proceed to a pre-set area and then spread to the surrounding villages in groups of fifty to sixty, and plunder.
The Ganjam group was the only one of these three groups to penetrate into Company territory, but the circumstances of their raid did not differ much from the others.

 Goldsmith: Gaia is the source of all benefits.
Luxuriant growth filled it; self-irrigated, it kept the fruit of the summer's rains till winter, while the light winter rains were treasured there in turn till the June monsoon came again.
Even as late as the Epic Period, it was a hero's derring-do to wander through that forest-world south of the Nerbudda, which at that time was a great inexhaustible river, its springs conserved by the forest.
Now the forest is gone, the hills are bare, the valley is unprotected, and the Nerbudda dries up like a brook, while starved cattle lie down to die on the parched clay that should be a river's bed.

 Pindari Society and the Establishment of British Paramountcy in India - Philip McEldowney
Most of these lands, located Just north of the Nerbudda River in central India, provided the Pindaris with a steady income, a place for their families to live, and a center from which to plunder.
During the Independent Period this territory consisted of the land north of the Nerbudda River in Malwa and central India.
During the last half of November, the British troops in the south crossed the Nerbudda River, occupied the bases of the Pindaris, and began pursuing them as they fled to the north.

 United Provinces of Agra and Oudh at AllExperts
But this scheme was never fully carried out, and in 1835 another statute authorized the appointment of a lieutenant-governor for the North-Western Provinces, as they were then known.
The North-Western Provinces included the Delhi territory, transferred later, after the Revolt of 1857 to the Punjab; and also (after 1853) the Saugor and Nerbudda Territories, which in 1861 became part of the Central Provinces.

At a considerable distance from the rest of the mountain ridges, and perfectly separate, stand the Marble Rocks, a most wonderful natural phenomenon, not very rare, though, in India.
On the flattish banks of the Nerbudda, overgrown with thick bushes, you suddenly perceive a long row of strangely-shaped white cliffs.
As if called forth by the wand of a sorcerer, they stood there on the green bank of the Nerbudda, mirroring their virgin beauty on the calm surface of the lazy stream, and promising us a cool and welcome shelter....

Animals of Cromer Forest Bed, Piltdown, Heidelberg, Torralba, and Nerbudda Valley.
It will be seen that there is, so far as the evidence goes, a very close similarity in the animals known to the Piltdown people, the Heidelberg man, the Spaniards at Torralba, and perhaps also to those who lived in the valley of the Nerbudda.
It was undoubtedly a very [132] early period for stegodon, machairodus, and the two bears could hardly have survived later than the Riss Ice Age.

In the time of Marãthãs grain; oilseeds and country cloth formed the chief articles of export.
In exchange for this combination the District received European piece and miscellaneous goods; salt from the Konkan; silk, sugar and spices from Bundelkhand, Mirzapur and the North; rice from Chhattisgarh; and hardware from Bhandãra and the Nerbudda District.
Except in times of depression produced by the foreign struggles or internal commotions of the state, the general technology of trade under the Marathas was to increase; but there were three prominent causes at work to prevent the rapid development of commerce.
