[Intelligence now arrived of the death of 'Ambar the Abyssinian, in the eightieth year of his age, on the 31st Urdíbihisht. This 'Ambar was a slave, but an able man. In warfare, in command, in sound judgment, and in administration, he had no rival or equal. He well understood that predatory (kazzákí) warfare, which in the language of the Dakhin is called bargí-girí. He kept down the turbulent spirits of that country, and maintained his exalted position to the end of his life, and closed his career in honour. History records no other instance of an Abyssinian slave arriving at such eminence. * *
The Emperor, with Núr Jahán Begam,* while at Kábul, went to pay a visit to Sháh Isma'íl. It was now reported that Sháh Jahán had departed from the frontiers of Nizámu-l Mulk, and proceeded through Málwa to Ajmír. But he made no stay there, and had gone on by way of Jesalmír to Thatta. On the 1st Shahryúr, His Majesty started from Kábul for Hindústán. At this time intelligence was brought of the serious illness of Prince Parwez. He was first attacked with colic, then he became insensible, and after medical treatment, fell into a heavy sleep. The doctors cauterized him in five places on the head and forehead. His illness was attributed to excessive drinking; the same malady of which his uncles Sháh Murád and Sháhzáda Dániyál had died.]
