935.1.4

(_Sep. 24th_) On Thursday we rode on, crossed the Chaṃbal-river and made the Mid-day Prayer on its bank, between the two Prayers (the Mid-day and the Afternoon) bestirred ourselves to leave that place, passed the Kawārī and dismounted. The Kawārī-water being high through rain, we crossed it by boat, making the horses swim over. (_Sep. 25th_) Next day, Friday which was 'Āshūr (_Muḥ. 10th_), we rode on, took our nooning at a village on the road, and at the Bed-time Prayer dismounted a _kuroh_ north of Gūālīār, in a Chār-bāgh ordered made last year.[2256] (_Sep. 26th_) Riding on next day after the Mid-day Prayer, we visited the low hills to the north of Gūālīār, and the Praying-place, went into the fort[2257] through the Gate called Hātī-pūl which joins Mān-sing's buildings (_`imārāt_[2258]), and dismounted, close to the Other Prayer, at those (_`imāratlār_)[2259] of Rāja Bikramājīt in which Raḥīm-dād[2260] had settled himself. To-night I elected to take opium because of ear-ache; another reason was the shining of the moon.[2261] (_e. Visit to the Rājas' palaces._) (_Sep. 27th_) Opium sickness gave me much discomfort next day (_Muḥ. 12th_); I vomited a good deal. Sickness notwithstanding, I visited the buildings (_`imāratlār_) of Mān-sing and [Sidenote: Fol. 340b.] Bikramājīt thoroughly.
