We bestowed the Military Collectorate (\_shiqdārlīghī\_) of Dihlī on Red Walī, made Dost Dīwān in the Dihlī district, sealed the treasuries, and made them over to their charge. (\_April 26th\_) On Thursday we dismounted on the bank of the Jūn, over against Tūghlūqābād.\[1688\] (\_y. The khuṯba read for Bābur in Dihlī.\_) (\_April 27th\_) On Friday (Rajab 15th) while we remained on the same ground, Maulānā Maḥmūd and Shaikh Zain went with a few others into Dihlī for the Congregational Prayer, read the \_khuṯba\_ in my name, distributed a portion of money to the poor and needy,\[1689\] and returned to camp. (\_April 28th\_) Leaving that ground on Saturday (Rajab 16th), we advanced march by march for Āgra. I made an excursion to Tūghlūqābād and rejoined the camp. (\_May 4th\_) On Friday (Rajab 22nd), we dismounted at the mansion (\_manzil\_) of Sulaimān \_Farmulī\_ in a suburb of Āgra, but as the place was far from the fort, moved on the following day to Jalāl Khān \_Jig:hat's\_ house. On Humāyūn's arrival at Āgra, ahead of us, the garrison had made excuses and false pretexts (about surrender). He and his noticing the want of discipline there was, said, "The long hand may be laid on the Treasury"! and so sat down to watch the roads out of Āgra till we should come. (\_z. The great diamond.\_) In Sultan Ibrāhīm's defeat the Rāja of Gūālīār Bikramājīt the Hindū had gone to hell.\[1690\] \[Sidenote: Fol. 268b.\]
