After his attendants had come up, he mounted a fast-going cart, and travelled all night. On Tuesday he reached the tomb of Khwája Mu'ínu-d dín Chishti (at Ajmír), where he went through the usual observances, and bestowed his gifts upon the poor. He rested for a while in the palace, which he had built for his own use, but towards the end of the day he mounted his horse, and continued his journey. Among his attendants when he started were Mírzá Khán, son of Khán-khánán Bairam, Asaf Khán Koka, Zain Khán Koka, and * * *. The night was bright moonlight. In the morning they joined Sháh Kulí Khán Mahram, and Muhammad Kulí Khán Tughbáni, who had been sent on in advance from Fathpúr. The intelligencers now brought the information of the royal army having marched. His Majesty alighted at the town of Pálí, which was near at hand, and then, having chosen Khwája 'Abdu-lla, Asaf Khán Bakhshí, and Raisál Darbárí, he took them along with him. On the 2nd Jumáda-l awwal, 981, he reached the town of Dísa, twenty kos from Pattan, in Gujarát, where the shikkdár * * came forth to meet him. His Majesty now sent Asaf Khán to Muhammad Khán, directing him to collect his forces, and join the party at the town of Bálisána, five kos from Pattan. In the middle of the night His Majesty started from Dísa for Bálisána, and turning aside from Pattan, came in sight of Bálisána in the morning, and there halted.
