of things they had left Kabul on the very day, the 10th of the 1st Jumada {Jan. 21st I52g) on which I rode out to the army.1
{Here the record of Tl days is wanting?)
{July 7th) On Thursday the 1st of Zu'1-qa'da the offerings made by Humayun and Mahim were set out while I sat in the large Hall of Audience.
Today also wages were given to 15° porters {kahdr) and they were started off under a servant of Faghfur Diwdn to fetch melons, grapes, and other fruits from Kabul.
(vvv. Concerning Sambkal.)
{July pth) On Saturday the 3rd of the month, Hindu Beg who had come as escort from Kabul and must have been sent to Sambhal on account of the death of'All-i-yusuf, came and waited on me.2 Khalifa's (son) Husamu'd-din came also today from Alwar and waited on me.
{July 10th) On Sunday morning {4-th) came 'Abdu'1-lah {kitdbdar), who from Tlr-muhani3 had been sent to Sambhal on account of the death of 'All-i-yusuf.

People from Kabul were saying that Shaikh Sharaf of Qarabagh, either incited by 'Abdu'l-'aziz or out of liking for him, had written an attestation which attributed to me oppression I had not done, and outrage that had not happened ; that he
* Mahim's journey from Kabul to Agra had occupied over 5 months.
* Hindu BegaiicAin had been made Humayun's retainer in 932 ah. (f. 297), and had taken possession of Sambhal for him. Hence, as it seems, he was ordered, while escorting the ladies from Kabul, to go to Sambhal. He seems to have gone before waiting on Babur, probably not coming into Agra till now. It may Ire noted here that in 933 ah. he transformed a Hindu temple into a Mosque in Sambhal ; it was done by Babur's orders and is commemorated by an inscription still existing on the Mosque, one seeming not to be of his own composition, judging by its praise of himself. (JASB. Ih-oceedings, May 1873, P- 9&, Blochmann's art. where the inscription is given and translated ; axi& ArcluzologicalSurvey Reports, xii, p. 24-27, with Plates showing the Mosque).
3 Cf. f. 375, f. 377, with notes concerning 'Abdu'1-lah and Tir-mOhani. I have not found the name Tir-miihani on maps ; its position can be inferred from Babur's statement (f. 375) that he had sent 'Abdu'1-lah to Sambhal, he being then at Kunba or Kunla in the Nurhun pargana. The name Tir-muhanl occurs also in Gorakhpur. It was at Tlr-muhani (Three-mouths) that Khwand-amir completed the Habibii'sstyar (lith. ed. i, 83; Rieu's Pers. Cat. p. 1079). If the name imply three waterwouths, they might be those of Ganges, Ghogra and Daha.
