The word \*jālī\* is similarly met with in reference to the precincts of the emperor’s tent. The derivation is from H. \*jāl\*, a net, and it means lattice, grating, network. From the passage quoted in the last paragraph and another in the same book, we see that this network (\*jālī\*) was the \*gulālbār\* under another name. But a European observer, who probably had seen an emperor’s camp, says the \*gulālbār\* was the outer paling fifty yards from the \*qanāts\*, or cloth screens seven feet high, which enclosed the emperor’s tents (\*Seir\*, i, 159, note 120). For \*gulālbār\* Khūshḥāl Chand in one place, Berlin Ms. 495, fol. 1010\*a\*, uses \*ṣalābat-bār\* “majestic-enclosure”: and Ashob, fol. 196\*b\*, claims it as the invention of Ṣalābat Khān¹, Mīr Ātash to ʿĀlamgīr, gulāl-bārah being nothing more than a popular name. Ashob gives a minute description of its construction; this differs in details from that of Anand Rām given above. The tents of princes continued to be protected by the old device of a rope, which still bore the name of tanāb-i-qūruq, or rope of prohibition (Mirāt-ul-I.). - [Previous: c19.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.9) - [Next: c19.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.11) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.10) · Pramāṇa
