∗ Waris, 65a., Adab-i-Alamgiri, 12b. The following was the distribution of trenches, going from the west, by the north, to the east and south:— Opposite Lakah Fort—Aurangzib, Qalich Khan, Shah Nawaz Khan, Rajah Pahar Singh Bundela. Opposite the Ali Qabi Gate—Baqi Khan. ,, the Forty Steps—Rajah Rajrup. ,, the Baba Wali Gate—Mahabat Khan and Rajah Anurudh. ,, the Waisqaran Gate—Najabat Khan. ,, the Khwajah Khizir }—Qasim Khan (Chief Gate to the Mashuri } of Artillery). Sadullah, Gate and Jai Singh. ,, the Earthwork Bastion—Rustam Khan. The Adab-i-Alamgiri places Rustam Khan opposite the Mashuri Gate, but his real position was at the south-west corner of the fort. Qasim Khan’s position was also shifted by Sadullah. This explains the slight differences between the two authorities quoted above.
