They make their houses and dwellings all of wood, after the manner of Kashmir. There is plenty of game here, as well as horses, mules, and horned cattle. Goats and fowls are abundant. The mules are rendered weak and useless, in consequence of the heavy loads which they have been made to carry. As it was reported that a few marches ahead the country was not sufficiently populous to supply food for my retinue, orders were issued to take only the few tents and establishments which were absolutely necessary, to diminish the number of elephants, and to take supplies sufficient for three or four days. A few attendants were selected to accompany me, and the rest were placed under the orders of Khwaja Abu-l Hasan Nakhshabi, to follow a few stages after me. Notwithstanding all my precautions and injunctions, it was found necessary to take with me 700 elephants even for the reduced tents and establishments. The mansab of Sultan Husain, which was 400 personal and 300 horse, was raised to 600 personal and 350 horse, and I gave him a khil'at, an ornamented dagger, and an elephant. Bahadur Dhamtauri, who stands appointed to Bangash, was raised to a mansab of 200 personal and 100 horse.
