After an absence of twelve years Jan Alla was instructed to proceed to Jalnapur, which he did by way of Baghdad. On arriving at Aurangabad, he occupied a chamber on the left of the Jumma masjid of Malik Ambar, and was quite a recluse, performing the ” Sunnat” prayers in his own room, and only the ” Fars” prayers in the mosque. His sanctity was noised about, and he was invited to Jalnapur by Khaji Bur Khurdar the faujdar. Aurangzib also wished to see him and went for the purpose to the Jumma masjid, and even to the ” Hujra” or chamber, but did not succeed in his object. A copy of a letter is still shown, which is said to have been written to Jan Alla by order of Aurangzib. The emperor next sent his vizier, but before the latter could come, Jan Alla and his brother had quietly gone away to Mungi Paitan, and from thence proceeded with Abdur Rahman, the deputy faujdar, to Jalnapur. Aurangzib then sent prince Muazzam to Jalnapur, and the saint received the prince kindly in a small dwelling in a mango grove where Jan Alla’s tomb has since been erected. It was on this occasion that Jan Alla received a sanad for five hundred bighas of land near Jalnapur, where Kadarabad and the cantonment now stand.
