### [2.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.2.4.5)

Next morning we marched, and having proceeded about a kos, halted on the banks of the Jumna, in order to refresh our horses. After other two marches, on Tuesday I visited the mausoleum of Nizam Auliya, and at the end of the third march encamped near Dehli, on the banks of the Jumna. The same night being Wednesday, I circumambulated the tomb of Khwaja Kutbu-d din, and visited the tomb and palaces of Sultan Ghiyasu-d din Balban, of Sultan 'Alau-d din Khilji, and his minaret, the Shams tank, the royal tank, the tombs and gardens of Sultan Bahlol and Sultan Sikandar, after which I returned into the camp, and went on board of a boat, where we drunk arak. I bestowed the office of shikkdar (or military collector) of Dehli on Wali Kizil; I made Dost the diwan of Dehli, and directed the different treasuries to be sealed and given into their charge.
