This shows that Abhiramabad was 12 miles away from Fatehpur Sikri, while Allahabad is about 275 miles south-east of Fatehpur.
In "Mundy's Travels " it is said that Abhiramabad was a small town. It was about 4 miles north of Bayana. It was called Abhiramabad or Ibrahimabad. There was a beautiful well there, which is now called 'Jhalar vav.' There is an inscription on the well, which shows that it was constructed by Malik Kafur in A. D. 1318.
William Fiche also supports this. He puts Bayana at 16 miles' distance from Fatehpur. Abhiramabad was 4 miles from Bayana. So Abhiramabad was 12 miles from Fatehpur, which proves the statement of the author of " Jagadgurukavya."
The town does not exist now.

13. Khankhana's full name was Khankhanan Mirza Abdur Rahim. His father's name was Beramkhan. Akbar had conferred on him the title of 'Khankhana', being pleased with his conquest of Gujarat. He was made the general of 5,000 troops. (See " Ain-i-Akbari, " Part I, p. 336. Also " Mirat-i-Ahamadi.")
14. This temple exists at Agra even now and is called Chintamani Parshvanath Mandir.' A poet named Saubhagyavijayji has composed a "Tirthamala" in V. S. 1750, wherein he writes:
