By degrees a lofty building was erected, and a very bright garden was arranged round the building of the shrine, and a large and lofty gateway with minarets of white stone was built. On the whole they told me the cost of this lofty edifice was 1,500,000 rupees, equivalent to 50,000 current tumans of Persia and 4,500,000 kharris, according to the currency of Turan. On Sunday, the 23rd, I went with a band of courtiers who had not seen it to look at the reservoir in the house of Hakim 'All, like one that had been made at Lahore in the time of my father. The reservoir is 6 gaz by 6 gaz. At its side has been erected a well-lighted room, the entrance to which is through the water, but the water does not get into it. Ten or twelve people could meet in it. He made an offering of some of the cash and jewels that had accumulated in his time. After looking at the room, and the entering of a number of courtiers therein, I raised him to the rank of 2,000, and returned to the palace. On Sunday, the 14th Sha'ban, the Khankhanan was honoured with a jewelled sword for the waist, a robe of honour, and a special elephant, and was given leave to go to his duty in the Deccan. Raja Suraj Singh, who was attached to him in that service, was raised to the rank of 3,000 personal and 2,000 horse. - [Previous: 7.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.7.3.3) - [Next: 7.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.7.3.5) - [Up: 7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.7.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.7.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.7.3.4) · Pramāṇa
