The Ghari Khana or Gong-house is mentioned. This was inside the Fort 
enclosures, and south of the Dakhil Darwaza. The gong was removed to the 
cutclierries at English Bazar, and was broken in 1272 (1855). The author 
heard it struck from a distance of six miles, viz., from the high bank of the 
Sagar Digln. 
At page 204 we have a biography of Sayyad Shah Ni‘matu-llah. He 
was a native of Karnaul, in the province of Delhi, and was a great traveller. 
In the course of his wanderings he came to Rajmahal, where he was much 
honoured by Sultan Shuja‘. At last he settled in the Flrozpur quarter of 
Gaur where he died, according to one account, in 1075 (1664), and according 
to another, in 1080 (1669). At his shrine there is an inscription of Husain 
Shah, dated 918 (1512). This is the inscription quoted in Ravenshaw, p. 88, 
Cunningham, p. 52, and J. A. S. B., XLII, p. 295. We now know where it is 
to be found. In the same compound there is another inscription, the date 
of which is given by the author as 10th Zu-l-hijja 870 (1465), but which is 
given in Ravenshaw as 1st Zu-l-hijja 970 (22nd July 1563). It records the 
building of a gateway by Kh an Jahan. The inscription as given by Ilahl 
Bakhsh is as follows :—

God has said, no one builds a mosque for God except he who has faith in 
God and in the day of resurrection, and who says his prayer and gives alms, 
and who fears not any one except God ; so that these are righteous people. 
And the Prophet has said, whoever builds a mosque for the sake of God
