Note 157 — The Thirteenth New Year’s Feast
Alexander Rogers translation
On Sunday, the 16th, marching 4½ koss, I came to the stage of Barah.157 As the garden and well which had been built by the order of Maryam-zamānī (Jahāngīr’s mother) in the pargana of Jūsat was on the road, I went to inspect them. Certainly the bāʾolī (step-well) was a grand building, and had been built exceedingly well. I ascertained from the officials that a sum of Rs. 20,000 had been expended on this well. As there was much game in this neighbourhood, I halted on Monday, the 17th.
