V. ḤAKĪM MASĪḤU-L-MULK, OF SHĪRĀZ.*

He had been brought up by the physician Ṇajmu-d-dīn ‘Abdu-'llāh, the son of Sharafu-d-dīn Ḥasan. He had the disposition of a religious and also sound faith. He was exceedingly well skilled in medicine. He came to Hindūstān from the Dakan and was sent with Sulān Murād* to Gujarāt and the Dakan. In Mālwa death cut short the (silver) cord of his hope.
