Scope and Contents
Quarter-plate. Always here close to Aurungzeba mosque which is called Dhavara. Mahabi has been eight years like this - ghastly humbug - anyone could sit on these spikes without great discomfort, and I am told that Mahabi gets off after he has been lifted into small tent every night. (Fisher).
