Note 25 — Feast of the Second New Year.
Alexander Rogers translation
Marching on Friday the 7th, I travelled 4½ kos and alighted at the station of Pakka.25 This place is called Pakka because the sarāy is of burnt brick, and in the Hindi language what is ripe (that is, not raw material) is called pakka. The station was strangely full of dust and earth. The carts reached it with great difficulty owing to the badness of the road. They had brought from Kabul to this place rīwāj (rhubarb), which was mostly spoiled.
