The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 12.1.3

12.1.3

On Friday we arrived at Khawaspur, five kos from Gujarat, which was peopled by Khawas Khan, a servant of Sher Khan Pathan. Beyond it, after two marches, we reached the banks of the Behat, and pitched our tents there. In the night a very strong wind blew, dark clouds obscured the sky, and it rained so heavily that even the oldest persons had never seen such rain within their memory. The rain ended with showers of hailstones, which were as large as hens’ eggs. The torrent of water and the wind combined broke the bridge. I with my ladies crossed the river in a boat, and as there were but very few boats for the other men to embark on, I ordered that they should wait till the bridge was repaired, which was accomplished in a week, when the whole camp crossed the river without any trouble.
