 as might be practicable after the conclusion of the fair at Haridwdr, which 

 takes place annually at the vernal equinox. It was expected, that by this 

 times the necessary orders would be circulated, to the. different Admils of 

 the J^epdl Raja, to ensure a safe passage through the Gurclidli territories.
