935.5.3
A mass of red, white, and black was scattered (_sāchīldī_) on which followed amazing noise and pushing. Between the Evening and Bed-time Prayers I made five or six special people sit in my presence for over one watch. At the second watch of the day (9 a.m., _Sunday, Rabi` II. 7th_) having sat in a boat, I went to the Eight-Paradises. (_dd. `Askarī starts eastwards._) (_Dec. 20th_) On Monday (_8th_) `Askarī who had got (his army) out (of Āgra) for the expedition, came to the Hot-bath, took leave of me and marched for the East. (_ee. A visit to Dhūlpūr._) (_Dec. 21st_) On Tuesday (_Rabī` II. 9th_) I went to see the buildings for a reservoir and well at Dūlpūr.[2402] I rode from the (Āgra) garden at one watch (_pahr_) and one _garī_ (9.22 a.m.), and I entered the Dūlpūr garden when 5 _garīs_ of the 1st night-watch (_pās_)[2403] had gone (7.40 p.m.).[2404]
