KADAM RASU'L,

This Mosque has obtained the name of Kadam Rasul,
from a small stone deposited there, bearing the impression of
a human foot, believed by the pious to have been made by
Muhammad himself. This stone, it is said, was brought from
Medina a great many years ago, was carried from Gout by
the Navdb Surajah Daulah, and afterwards restored to its
present situation by Mir Jcifir. From an inscription over
the gateway to this edifice, it appears to have been founded
by Nasarat Shah, a. h. 937? or a.d. 1530. This building
is kept in tolerable repair, and is still visited by pilgrims,
because it contains the shrine of a celebrated saint. The
situation of this Mosque is within the fort on the east side,
at E.—See Map.
