935.13.3

(_June 6th_) On Monday the 29th of the month (_Ramẓān_), our station was on the bank of the same Tūs-water. Though tonight the sky was not quite clear, a few people saw the Moon, and so testifying to the Qāẓī, fixed the end of the month (_Ramẓān_). (_June 7th_) On Tuesday (_Shawwāl 1st_) we made the Prayer of the Festival, at dawn rode on, did 10 _kurohs_ (20 m.), and dismounted on the bank of the Gūī (Gūmtī), a _kuroh_ (2 m.) from Māīng.[2665] The sin of _ma`jūn_ was committed (_irtikāb qīlīldī_) near the Mid-day Prayer; I had sent this little couplet of invitation to Shaikh Zain, Mullā Shihāb and Khwānd-amīr:— (_Turkī_) Shaikh and Mullā Shihāb and Khwānd-amir, Come all three, or two, or one. Darwīsh-i-muḥammad (_Sārbān_), Yūnas-i-`alī and `Abdu'l-lāh (_`asas_)[2666] were also there. At the Other Prayer the wrestlers set to. (_June 8th_) On Wednesday (_2nd_) we stayed on the same ground. Near breakfast-time _ma`jūn_ was eaten. Today Malik Sharq came in who had been to get Tāj Khān out of Chunār.[2667] When the wrestlers set to today, the Champion of Aūd who had come earlier, grappled with and threw a Hindūstānī wrestler who had [Sidenote: Fol. 379.] come in the interval. Today Yaḥyā _Nuḥāni_ was granted an allowance of 15 _laks_ from Parsarūr,[2668] made to put on a dress of honour, and given his leave. (_June 9th_) Next day (_Thursday 3rd_) we did 11 _kurohs_ (22 m.), crossed the Gūī-water (Gūmtī), and dismounted on its bank.
