∗ It is at Poyah Ghat, close to Sultanganj (Tarikh-i-Agra, p. 31, lithographed, Husaini Press, Fathgarh.) There seem to be two Baghs at Agra with somewhat similar names, Bagh Dahra and Bagh Dahr-Ara. The former is also called Nur Manzil (same work, p. 28) and possesses a large well which is the only thing now left. It is called the 'well of the 52 water bags' (Bawan lao ki kua). The site is 3 miles south of the fort, it is now within the cantonments, and is called Khawas-pura (Mirza Vikar Ali Beg's letter of 20 Feb. 1893). The name of Nur Manzil was given it with reference to the Emperor Jahangir's name Nur-ud-din Mhd. (M. U., iii. 79.)
