Note 16 — The Eighteenth New Year’s Feast after the Auspicious Accession
Alexander Rogers translation
It is S͟haʿbān in Nos. 181 and 305. The famous garden of Ahmadabad is the S͟hāhī, for which see the Bombay Gazetteer, vol. for Ahmadabad, p. 283. But besides being S͟haʿbān in the MSS. it is also S͟haʿbān in the Iqbāl-nāma, 207. The S͟hāhī garden lies to the north of Ahmadabad, and Ṣafī was at the south or south-east of the city. Perhaps the S͟haʿbān garden was near the Malik S͟haʿbān lake, which was east of the city, and is referred to in Bombay Gazetteer, p. 18. The Bāg͟h S͟haʿbān is also referred to in Bayley’s Gujarat, 236. ↑
