The apparent source is a hill near the pargana of Khizrabad. The air of Agra is warm and dry ; physicians say that it depresses the spirits (ruhra ba tahlil mibarad) and induces weakness. It is unsuited to most temperaments, except to the phlegmatic and melancholy, which are safe from its bad effects. For this reason animals of this constitution and temperament, such as the elephant, the buffalo, and others, thrive in its climate. Before the rule of the Lodi Afghans, Agra was a great and populous place, and had a castle described by Mas'ud b. Sa'd b. Salman in the ode (qasida) which he wrote in praise of Mahmud, son of Sultan Ibrahim, son of Mas'ud, son of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni, on the capture of the castle — "The fort of Agra appeared in the midst of the dust Like a mountain, and its battlements like peaks." - [Previous: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.2.4) - [Next: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.2.6) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.2.5) · Pramāṇa
