*Sang-andāz*. Budāonī, ii, 146, uses this word when describing the fort of Sūrat. This is here evidently “embrasure”, and so translated by Lowe, 150. Steingass, 703, has *sang-afkan* and *sang-andāz*, a loophole in a fortress. But a passage in the *Maāsir-ul-umarā*, i, 76, referring to the siege of Dhārwar in the Dakhin in Shāhjahān’s reign, would lead one to infer that *sang-andāz* was a pathway or tunnel, down which stones were literally thrown.
