112 H. Blochmann — Notes on Arabic and Persian Inscriptions. [No. 1, 
side by side, also a smaller one in the corner, but with no inscription of any 
kind on them. The tomb is in a very dilapidated condition, and the same 
may be said of the remains of other smaller buildings near it. Close to the 
tomb is an old masonry well, which is in working order, and is used for irri- 
gating the adjacent lands.” 
The tomb, according to Maulavi Muhammad Karim, Deputy Collector 
of the district, lies in Miran Sara, a Mahallali of Badaon. The emperor is 
said to have founded A’laptir (j_>J ),* which lies seven /cos East of Badaon. 
He had three sons, Ahsan, ’Abbas, Haidar. ’Abbas had no issue. Alisan 
founded Sayyidpurah, outside Port Badaon, to the south. The place does 
no longer exist, nor are there any descendants of his. Sayy id Haidar founded 
Sarai Miran. His descendants exist to the present day, but they are all 
poor agriculturists.

Mr. Wilson’s second inscription is taken from the gateway of the Jami’ 
Masjid at Badaon. His reading is as follows : —
