Beveridge) 932.13.8 - **Language:** English ### [932.13.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.13.8) Another good thing in Hindūstān is that it has unnumbered and endless workmen of every kind. There is a fixed caste (\_jam\`ī\_) for every sort of work and for every thing, which has done that work or that thing from father to son till now. Mullā Sharaf, writing in the \_Z̤afar-nāma\_ about the building of Tīmūr Beg's Stone Mosque, lays stress on the fact that on it 200 stone-cutters worked, from Āẕarbāījān, Fars, Hindūstān and other countries. But 680 men worked daily on my buildings in Āgra and of Āgra stone-cutters only; while 1491 stone-cutters worked daily on my buildings in Āgra, Sīkrī, Bīāna, Dūlpūr, Gūālīār and Kūīl. In \[Sidenote: Fol. 292.\] the same way there are numberless artisans and workmen of every sort in Hindūstān. - [Previous: 932.13.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.13.7) - [Next: 932.14.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.14.1) - [Up: 932.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.13.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.13.8) · Pramāṇa
