look,” and it is related that Jamal-ud-Din when passing here wit* his father
saw a huge serpent and shouted “ Baba-Gurgur, “ father, look, look. The
father drew his sword and slew the serpent. Near the shrine there is an outcrop
of rocks slightly resembling a huge serpent ; it has a fissure the whole of its
length, and this is said to be the wound inflicted by Jamal-ud-Dms fathers
sword.
The tomb is on a hill and there is little doubt that there exists here an
underground lake, as water is constantly flowing out with a gurgling noise
from rents in the ground. At five hundred paces there is a spot named
Dankaz. Dankaz is the Turki for lake This lake or pond is 200 paces in
circumference, and, say the natives, of unfathomable depth.. Many people have
