By order of my father, a very strong fort of stone and lime had been built. It is not quite completed, one side being unfinished. It is hoped that hereafter it will be completed. From Hasan Abdal to Kashmir by the road I came is a distance of 75 koss; this was accomplished in nineteen marches and six halts — that is, in twenty-five days. From Agra to Kashmir, in the space of 168 days, a distance of 376 koss was traversed in 102 marches and 63 halts. By land and the ordinary route the distance is 304 J koss. On Tuesday, the 12th, Dilawar K., according to order, brought the Raja of Ki^twar, chained, into my presence, and did homage. He (the Raja) is not wanting in dignity. His dress is after the Indian fashion, and he knows both the Hindi and the Kashmiri languages. Contrary to other Zamindars of these regions, he looked like the inhabitant of a town. I told him that, notwithstanding his offences, if he would bring his sons to Court, he should be released from confinement, and might live at ease under the shadow of the eternal State, or else he would be imprisoned in one of the forts of Hindustan. He said that he would bring his people, his family, and his sons to wait on me, and was hopeful of my clemency. I shall now give a brief account of the country of Kashmir and of its peculiarities. - [Previous: 22.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.22.2.7) - [Next: 22.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.22.3.2) - [Up: 22.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.22.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.22.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.22.3.1) · Pramāṇa
