¹⁸ There is a story behind the construction of this mosque. Once the Emperor gave a grain of *moth* to his Prime Minister Miān Bhuā. The latter, thinking the grain to be auspicious, it having touched the royal palm, sowed it into the ground and obtained a few more grains. The process was repeated and a crop obtained. The crop was sowed as seed and a huge harvest was collected. In course of time, from the income of that one *moth*, the mosque was built up. This is how it came to be known as Moth Ki Masjid. *Khulāsat-ut-Tawārīkh*, 278.
