EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
reign I the erection of the honoured
"And beautiful mosque', the lady over natures (P), has been made by the Nawab Rami Khan, governor of the sarkár Khwaj Kator (P),
"On the 27th of the month Rajab-may its honour increase 1--of the year 970 [22nd March 1663]."
This inscription is interesting because it gives now information about Rami Khan, who is not often mentioned in the histories. Blochmann has noted two services of his in his translation of the Ain (No. 111, p. 424), the one from A.H. 971-one year later than the present inscription-the other of A. H. 983 (No. 146, p. 441). His full name is not certain. Blochmann styles him Rami Khan Ustad Jalabi."
3. Over the northern outside arch of the mosque of Shah Bura in the north of the town, is a sandstone, measuring 22" by 19", bearing the six lines :

انك با قطب زمانه بتخصيص پر مقصود جهانست بده شاه که نه صد برد فزون شصت و ده رپنج

"When God the only one, put away (my) misfortune, the building of this mosque was designed.
"In the time of the king Jalal addin Akbar-may his days be equal to his desire ! -
"Everybody who comes to that mighty one, becomes a new one; Muḥammad Ibrahim (also) is happy through him.
"He is true and a companion of the followers of God, he exhilarates the afflicted. "To him especially the pole and time devote their service, the masters. "As the design of the world is for ten kings, 80, O God I may his glory be eternal !
* When nine hundred was increased by sixty and ten and five, it was in the month Ramazan that he laid the foundation. May the friendship of God be over Muhammad !
Lipibe' has been distinctly engraved, but perhaps atbd is to be read and Béga-ya (1.0. Bég-0) abd' aynonymous with daryd bhdalary-BAbar's Momoins, p. 480.
The reading Kator is somewhat doubtful; the word may be Ganaur or Kanaum, but even if rond thus, we got none of the well-known urhre of the Moghal empire. The same strange use of farmáyil occurs in Nos. 4 and 4
More famous was the homonymods mir atask of Humkyan (died 942), who effected in 942 the conquest of the fort of Chandp by the praction of old Zopyrus' stratagom, after having quitted the service of his former master Sultan Bahadur of Gujarat, which trobery bus given matter for the anedote of Saltan Bahadur's parrot in Khat Kho'Muntakhab allubdb. The Turks of Europe were onlebrated in Asis for their knowledge of artillery, which was always the most remarkable weapon of the Turks in their wars with the Persian Shahs, fact that Shah Tahmasp I. in rain attempts to deny in his Memoirs (ow my German translation of them, p. 120.
