935.1.7

Raḥīm-dād has planted a great numbers of flowers in his garden (_bāghcha_), many being beautiful red oleanders. In these places the oleander-flower is peach,[2279] those of Gūālīār are beautiful, deep red. I took some of them to Āgra and had them planted in gardens there. On the south of the garden is a large lake[2280] where the waters of the Rains gather; on the west of it is a lofty idol-house,[2281] side by side with which Sl. Shihābu'd-dīn Aīltmīsh (Altamsh) made a Friday mosque; this is a very lofty building (_`imārat_), the highest in the fort; it is seen, with the fort, from the Dūlpūr-hill (_cir._ 30 m. away). People say the stone for it was cut out and brought from the large lake above-mentioned. Raḥīm-dād has made a wooden (_yīghāch_) _tālār_ in his garden, and porches at the gates, which, after the Hindūstānī fashion, are somewhat low and shapeless. (_g. The Urwāh-valley._)
