1839.] Notice of Inscriptions in Bekar. 351 



Extensive endowments of rent-free lands have been granted at differ- 

 ent times by Emperors, Amils, and pious Mahomedans, for the support 

 of the shrine, the administration of which, is entrusted to a Syjadah 

 Nusheen, an hereditary officer, to whom great reverence is paid by 

 the Faithful. But a great portion of the lands has been alienated 

 either to relations of the family, or in satisfaction of debts of former 

 incumbents, and a great part has become liable to assessment under 

 the Resumption Laws ; so that little now remains for the support of 

 the family, the splendour of religious festivals, or the maintenance 

 of the Moolvees who were wont to teach to the rising generation the 

 doctrines of the law and the tenets of the Prophet.
