Clearest of all is ae text in the Azn, Colonel Jarrett’s 
translation, ii, 279. It brings us back much nearer to the 
passage in Carr Stephen. 
‘* Sultan Firéz (1351—88) gave his own name to a large 
town which he founded, and by a cutting from the Jumna 
brought its waters to flow by. He likewise built another 
palace at a distance of 3 kos from Firézdbad, named Jahan- 
numd (the world-view). Three subterranean passages were 
made wide enough to admit of his passing along in mounted 
procession with the ladies of his harem; that towards the 
river, 5 jaribs in length; the rues towards the Jahannuma, 
2 kés, and the third to Old Delhi, 3 kés 
may remark at once that, according to the Ain, the 
third tunnel to Old Delhi was only 3 kos long, whereas the 
text of Ahmad Khan and Carr Stephen speaks of 5 kos. This 
divergence may be due to a different reading in the work con- 
sulted by Ahmad Khan. We note also that whereas, according 
to the Ain, the tunnel to the Jahdénnumd was 2 kos long, the 
distance between Firozabad and the Jahdnnuma is said to have 
been 3 kos in length. 
The Jahdnnuma is identical with the Kushk-i Shikar. 
‘The same king (Firoz Schdh) had had another palace con- 
structed at a distance of three cosses from the town of Firoza- 
bad (cf. Térikh-t Firischta), besides the edifices of which we 
have spoken, and had given it the name of Jdhan Numa 
(belvedere, literally, the world-viewing edifice). Between the 
Firoz Shah, and this palace, a subterranean. passage, 
two cosses in length, "had been constructed. It is that way 
that the king would go out in palanquin with the women of 
the palace.’” Cf. Saryap AuMaD KHAN, op. cit., Pt. I, Ch.
