48 THE TOMB OF MANSUR SHAH. 



It is fair to add that a local Aral) pundit to whom photos of 

 the tomb were submitted could not make the above version out of 

 the inscription and failed to give an intelligible interpretation. It 

 would require a scholar acquainted with the carved Arabic script of 

 that period to give a final interpretation: possibly Hervey got his 

 version from such a scholar but there is no record. The hole in 

 the other stone finds a parallel in the hole of the Pengkalan Kempas 

 tomb.
