6.4.5
I ordered a stream that flows from the guzargah (ferry, also bleaching green) to be diverted into the middle of the ground so that a garden might be made such that in beauty and sweetness there should not be in the inhabited world another like it. I gave it the name of Jahan-ara (world-adorning). Whilst I was at Kabul I had several entertainments in the Shahr-ara garden, sometimes with my intimates and courtiers and sometimes with the ladies of the harem. At nights I ordered the learned and the students of Kabul to hold the cooking entertainment, bughra, and the throwing of bughra, together with arqhushtak dances.
