† Taghaiyyar-i-rah dadan, not to return by the way or gate by which you went, a practice observed by the Emperors of Hindustan (Mirat-ul-istilah). Mir Abdul-Jalil Bilgrami wrote a long masnavi, or narrative poem, in honour of the occasion. (Lithographed at Nawal Kishor Press, Lakhnau, 1299 H.) Mr. Beale praises it for the skill with which the Hindu names of the planets are introduced under the guise of Persian words. (Miftah, 301).
