[p. 545.] The Emperor had never visited Lahore, one of his chief cities, since his accession. He now determined to proceed thither, and also to pay a visit to the peerless vale of Kashmir. Accordingly he set out from Agra on the 3rd Sha'ban, 1043 h. * * * His Majesty's sense of justice and consideration for his subjects induced him to order that the Bakhshi of the ahadis with his archers should take charge of one side of the road, and the Mir-atish with his matchlock-men should guard the other, so that the growing crops should not be trampled underfoot by the followers of the royal train. As, however, damage might be caused, daroghas, mushrifs and amins were appointed to examine and report on the extent of the mischief, so that raiyats, and jagirdars under 1000, might be compensated for the individual loss they had sustained.
