1877.] H. Bloclimann — Delmericlc's Inscriptions from Hisdr FlruzaTi. 95 



III and IV. 



These two inscriptions come from the same Mausoleum as Inscription 

 II. They measure 6 ft. 10 in. by 9 in., and 6 ft. 2 in. by 5 in., respectively. 

 It looks as if the builder Junaid was the same as Shaikh Junaid, mentioned 

 by me above among the ' Hisar Celebrities'. The date of his death, as given 

 in the Khazinah would be too early ; but the fact that he is called ' Ajo- 

 dhani' seems to prove the identity. 



The spelling ' Achodhani' for ' Ajodhani' is quite clear in the rubbing. 



On the 1st Rabi'-ul-awwal, 927. Tlie builder is J u n a i d, the son of C h a n d a n. 

 [9th February, 1521]. 



On the 1st Zi Ka'dah, 931. The builder is Junaid, son of Chandan, son of 

 M a h m u d, of Achodhan. [20th August, 1525.] 



'V. 



From a mosque outside the Dihli Gate, situate in the Sarai Nathiia

In the name of God, the merciful, the clement ! 



The prophet (upon whom be peace !) says, ' He who builds a mosque for God, will 

 liave a house built for him by God Almighty in Paradise. After the grace of God, 

 the King, the omniscient, and the blessing of the Lord of prophetship (on whom be 

 peace !), in the auspicious time, and the day -increasing reign of the sovereign, the 

 helper of the world, the just one of the age, the king of India and Khui'asan, who
