341.\] lowest storey where the building has four, looks towards this elephant and gives a near view of it.\[2270\] The cupolas which have been mentioned above are themselves the topmost stage (\_murtaba\_) of the building;\[2271\] the sitting-rooms are on the second storey (\_ṯabaqat\_), in a hollow even;\[2272\] they are rather airless places although Hindūstānī pains have been taken with them.\[2273\] The buildings of Mān-sing's son Bikramājīt are in a central position (\_aūrta dā\_) on the north side of the fort.\[2274\] The son's buildings do not match the father's. He has made a great dome, very dark but growing lighter if one stays awhile in it.\[2275\] Under it is a smaller building into which no light comes from any side. When Raḥīm-dād settled down in Bikramājīt's buildings, he made a rather small hall \[\_kīchīkrāq tālārghīna\_\] on the top of this dome.\[2276\] From Bikramājīt's buildings a road has been made to his father's, a road such that nothing is seen of it from outside and nothing known of it inside, a quite enclosed road.\[2277\] After visiting these buildings, we rode to a college Raḥīm-dād \[Sidenote: Fol. 341b.\] had made by the side of a large tank, there enjoyed a flower-garden\[2278\] he had laid out, and went late to where the camp was in the Chārbāgh. (\_f. Raḥīm-dād's flower-garden.\_)
