935.13.7

(_June 21st_) With an easy mind about these parts, we set out for Āgra, raid-fashion,[2676] when 3 _pās_ 1 _garī_ of Tuesday night were past.[2677] In the morning (_Tuesday 15th_) we did 16 _kurohs_ (32 m.), near mid-day made our nooning in the _pargana_ of Balādar, one of the dependencies of Kālpī, there gave our horses barley, at the Evening Prayer rode on, did 13 _kurohs_ (26 m.) in the night, at the 3rd night-watch (_mid-night_, _Shawwāl 15-16th_) dismounted at Bahādur Khān _Sarwānī's_ tomb at Sūgandpūr, a _pargana_ of Kālpī, slept a little, went through the Morning Prayer and hurried on. After doing 16 _kurohs_ (32 m.), we reached Etāwa at the fall of day, where Mahdī Khwāja came out to meet us.[2678] Riding [Sidenote: Fol. 380b.] on after the 1st night-watch (9 p.m.), we slept a little on the way, did 16 _kurohs_ (32 m.), took our nooning at Fatḥpūr of Rāprī, rode on soon after the Mid-day Prayer (_Thursday Shawwāl 17th_), did 17 _kurohs_ (34 m.), and in the 2nd night-watch[2679] dismounted in the Garden-of-eight-paradises at Āgra. (_June 24th_) At the dawn of Friday (_18th_) Pay-master Sl. Muḥammad came with several more to wait on me. Towards the Mid-day Prayer, having crossed Jūn, I waited on Khwāja `Abdu'l-ḥaqq, went into the Fort and saw the begīms my paternal-aunts.
