Shāh Jahān repaired the college named Dār-ul-Baqā (Abode of Eternity), which had been entirely ruined. The Emperor repaired the buildings and appointed a few distinguished learned men as professors of the college. Maulānā Muḥammad Ṣadruddīn Khān Bahādur, the chief justice of Delhi, was nominated by the monarch as the director of the institution with a view to make it flourishing. Near it were two large reservoirs, a mosque, a hospital and a big bazar.²
