² Compare the account of Ibn Batuta K.R., II, 6. Compare also K., 156, how Humayun introduced the system of announcing time by beat of drums several times a day, namely at dawn, after sun-rise, at sunset and on the night of the first and the fourteenth of the lunar month. Akbar, his successor, however, reverted to the old system of ghariyal; and the gong and the clepsydra accompanied the monarch wherever his camp moved. Vide A.A., II, 9.
