935.8.3

(_March 5th_) On Saturday move was made at dawn (_24th_), I going by boat direct, and after 4 _kurohs_ done (8m.), halt was made at Koh.[2514] Our ground, being so near, was reached quite early. After awhile, we seated ourselves inside[2515] a boat where we ate _ma`jūn_. We invited the honoured Khwāja `Abdu'sh-shahīd[2516] who was said to be in Nūr Beg's quarters (_awī_), invited also Mullā Maḥmūd (_Farābī_?), bringing him from Mullā `Alī Khān's. After staying for some time on that spot, we crossed the river, and on the other side, set wrestlers to wrestle. In opposition to the rule of gripping the strongest first, Dost-i-yāsīn-khair [Sidenote: Fol. 363b.] was told not to grapple with Champion Ṣādiq, but with others; he did so very well with eight.
