7) Zia-i Akhatar by Haji Muhammed Husan (Lucknow 1878), p.38-39.

II, p 100-112. The author gives the same account of the construction of Babn mosque, as given in Mumggah-i Khusrawi. (10) Tarikh 1 Awadh by Alarna Muhammad Najamulghdiii Khan Rampun (1909). Dr Zaki Kakorawi has brought out an abridged edition of this book An excerpt from vol II (pp. 570-575) of this edition runs as follows : (a) Babar built a magnificent mosque at the. spot where the temple, of Janmasthan of Ramchandra was situated in Ayodhya, under the patronage of Saiyid Ashikan, and Sita ki Rasoi is situated adjacent to it The date of construction of the mosque, is Khair Baqi (923 AH). Till date, it is known as Sita ki Rasoi. By its side stands the temple. It is said that at the time of the conquest of Islam there were stiil three temples, viz Janmasthan, which was the birthplace of Ram Chanderji, Swargadwar alias Ram Darhar, and the TretakaThakur Babar huiltthe mosque after having demolished Janmasthan. (b) in short, the turbulence (of 1855) reached such a stage that apart from the mitigated mosque at Hanuman Garhi, the Hindus built a temple in tfie courtyard of Babri Masjid where Sita ki Rasoi was situated. (c) ..Ultimately, on Zildaqqa 1271 AH (July 1855), for the tenth or twelfth time, nearly two or three hundred Muslims gathered at Babn Masjid which is situated inside the Sita ki Rasoi.. It is important to observe that the learned author used as many as eighty one sources (manuscripts and books) covering the history of India/Awadh from the 17th-19th centuries, comprising mostly Muslim authors, though a few Hindu and European writers have also been referred to. In parenthesis, we remark that the calculation of the year 923 from the numerical values of the letters making up the expression Khair Baqi (as before the adoption of Indian numerals, letters were still used sometimes |o encode numbers), rests on a mistake. The full expression which is repeated in the inscription on the Masjid, is Bavad Khair Baqi. of which the numeral value adds up to 935. the AH year partly coinciding with 1528 AD (11) Hindustdii isldini Ahad Mein by Maulana Hakim Sayid Akhdul Hai.
