Following the death came the forty days of mourning, and of good works and gifts at the tomb in the Garden of Rest at Agra. Sikri furnished a part of the endowment for its readers and reciters, and Maham sent them food twice daily from her own estate. The tomb was put under the guardianship of a man whom our begam calls Khwaja Muhammad 'Ali 'asas (night-guard), and who may be he that 'never killed a sparrow,' and may be Maham's brother. If so, he will be heard of again under other and widely different circumstances in 1547. As is well known, Babar's body was conveyed to Kabul, and there laid to rest in the spot chosen by himself.
