Note 93 — PART I.—DESCRIPTION.
Reading edition
The emperor Jehángír thus describes (Memoirs Pers. Text, 372) a visit to this building: On the third day of Amardád (July 1617) with the palace ladies I set out to see Nílkanth, which is one of the pleasantest places in Mándu fort. Sháh Budágh Khán, who was one of the trusted nobles of my august father, built this very pleasing and joy-giving lodge during the time he held this province in fief (a.d. 1572–1577). I remained at Nílkanth till about an hour after nightfall and then returned to my state quarters. ↑
