W. P. Gazetteer\*, Vol. VII. (ed. 1884), p. 611. Aurangzib's camp on the eve of the battle was at a large village 21 m. s. e. of Agra, which he renamed Fatihabad, and where he founded a \*serai\* and a mosque called the \*Mubarak Manzil\* on the spot on which he rested after his victory, \[here pp. 612 and 725 disagree; p. 612 being undoubtedly wrong, as Mubarak there should be \*Nur\*\], constructed a tank, and planted a large grove to the s. e. of the place. The mosque was used as a custom-house, and the \*serai\* as the \*tahsil\* office, the tank was nearly silted up and the grove remained in tolerable preservation in 1884. (\*Ibid\*, 611—612 and 724—725, where there are references to Keene's \*Handbook to Agra\*, ed. 1878, p. 111, Cunningham's \*Archæological Survey Reports\*, iv. 195, and Elliot and Beames's \*Supplemental Glossary\*, ii. 87.)
