In congratulation on the birth of Humāyūn's son and Kāmrān's marriage, Mullā Tabrīzī and Mīrzā Beg T̤aghāī[2444] were sent with gifts (_sāchāq_) to each Mīrzā of 10,000 _shāhrukhīs_, a coat I had worn, and a belt with clasps. Through Mullā Bihishtī were sent to Hind-āl an inlaid dagger with belt, an inlaid ink-stand, a stool worked in mother-o'pearl, a tunic and a girdle,[2445] together with the alphabet of the Bāburī script and fragments (_qiṯa`lār_) written in that script. To Humāyūn were sent the translation (_tarjuma_) and verses made in Hindūstān.[2446] To Hind-āl and Khwāja Kalān also the translation and verses were sent. They were sent too to Kāmrān, through Mīrzā Beg T̤aghāī, together with head-lines (_sar-khaṯ_) in the Bāburī script.[2447] (_Feb. 1st_) On Tuesday, after writing letters to be taken by those going to Kābul, the buildings in hand at Āgra and Dūlpūr [Sidenote: Fol. 358.] were recalled to mind, and entrusted to the charge of Mullā Qāsim, Ustād Shāh Muḥammad the stone-cutter, Mīrak, Mīr Ghīāṣ, Mīr Sang-tarāsh (stone-cutter) and Shāh Bābā the spadesman. Their leave was then given them. (_Feb. 2nd_) The first watch (6 a.m.) was near[2448] when we rode out from Anwār (_Wednesday, Jumāda I. 23rd_); in the end,[2449] we dismounted, at the Mid-day Prayer, in the village of Ābāpūr, one _kuroh_ (2 m.) from Chandawār.[2450]
