It also contains inscriptions on the Mausoleum of Mir Abdullah Mushkin-Qalam at Agra and the Bhadra Gateway in Ahmedabad, the inscriptions of the Gujarat Sultans, some Mughal inscriptions from Gujarat, a fifteenth century Persian inscription from Baroda, Khalji and Tughluq inscriptions for Gujarat, and the inscriptions of the Sultans of Gujarat from Saurashtra.
