935.7.6

(_Feb. 13th_) On Sunday the 4th of the month, we did 9 _kurohs_ (18m.) and dismounted in Dīrapūr[2494] a _pargana_ of Kālpī. Here I shaved my head,[2495] which I had not done for the past two months, and bathed in the Sīngar-water (Sengar). (_Feb. 14th_) On Monday (_5th_) we did 14 _kurohs_ (28m.), and dismounted in Chaparkada[2496] one of the _parganas_ of Kālpī. (_Feb. 15th_) At the dawn of Tuesday (_6th_), a Hindūstānī servant of Qarācha's arrived who had taken a command (_farmān_) from Māhīm to Qarācha from which it was understood that she was on the road. She had summoned escort from people in Lāhor, Bhīra and those parts in the fashion I formerly wrote orders (_parwānas_) with my own hand. Her command had been written in Kābul on the 7th of the 1st Jumāda (_Jan. 17th_).[2497] (_Feb. 16th_) On Wednesday (_7th_) we did 7 _kurohs_ (14m.), and dismounted in the Ādampūr _pargana_.[2498] Today I mounted before dawn, took the road[2499] alone, reached the Jūn (Jumna), and went on along its bank. When I came opposite to Ādampūr, I had awnings set up on an island (_ārāl_) near the camp and seated there, ate _ma`jūn_.
