This mosqne was built in the time {fi ’alid, ?) of the renowned saint, Maul ana 
-A t a — may God give him affluence and may He make paradise his dwelling place ! — 
during the reign (jl ’ alid ) of Shamsuddnnya waddfn Abul Mu ’in Muzaf-

The first 'alid is unintelligible to me, as ’Ata lived before Sikandar 
Shah. The inscription, though the year is unclear, is of some value, as it 
gives the full name of Muzaffar Shah. 
Dha'ka'. 
The following inscriptions were received from Dr. James Wise, of Dhaka, 
together with copious notes. 
The Inscription on Khwdjah Jahdn's Mosque. 
Dr. Wise says — 
“ The mosque from which this inscription is taken is a very insignificant 
building in a Mahallah of Dhaka, called * Churlliattah.’ The building looks 
°ld, and Curious to say, the three doors of entrance are not arched, but 
square. They are little over five feet in height ; hence it is probable that 
the ground outside has been raised. Its history is unknown. The only 
name by which it is known, is the 1 Masjid of Bhola Klum,’ a former Khadim. 
The slab has evidently been removed from some older mosque and city to 
Dhaka. It i s a curious thing that General Cunningham and I found no 
inscription at Sunuargaon earlier than A. H. 888.” 
I have not been able to decipher the whole inscription, a few wox-ds be- 
fore the date being illegible.
