Note 98 — The Thirteenth New Year’s Feast
Alexander Rogers translation
As the Māhī had not become fordable, so that the sublime camp could cross it, and the climate of Maḥmūdābād was quite different (i.e., it was better) from that of other stages, I remained here for ten more days. On Monday, the 8th, I marched and encamped at Mūda.98 I had already sent K͟hwāja Abū-l-Ḥasan Bak͟hs͟hī with an active body of servants, such as boatmen, and also oars,99 to make a bridge over the Māhī, with instructions not to wait till it was fordable, so that the victorious camp might cross at ease. On Tuesday, the 9th, there was a halt, and on Kams͟hamba (Wednesday), the 10th, the camp was at the village of Aina.100
