The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 2405 — SECTION III. HINDŪSTĀN (continued 4)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

The well was to fill a cistern; the 26 spouts with their 26 supports were to take water into (26?) conduits. Perhaps tāsh means that they were hewn in the solid rock; perhaps that they were on the outer side of the reservoir. They will not have been built of hewn stone, or the word would have been sangīn or tāshdīn.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
