Walls and forts, and gates and gardens were allotted out among the amirs, and injunctions were given for the completion of the work. So a building ('imarat), which might have taken years for its completion, was finished in twenty days. Orders were then given for raiyats and all sorts of mechanics to be collected from all the parganas of that province, to populate the fortress (hisár). The land of this place was an ancient possession of Rái Lon Karan, and his son, who was young and was being brought up with the princes, was named Manohar, so the town was called Manohar-nagar after that child. This child has now grown up a clever young man, and composes poetry under the takhallus (nom de plume) of Túsaní. - [Previous: 67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.67) - [Next: 69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.69) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.68) · Pramāṇa
