On the eve of Tuesday, 4 Jamāda-ul-awal 997, 10 or 11 March 1589, after four hours and thirty-six minutes, the brightener of the world's face entered Aries. The beginning of the tenth year of the third cycle brought the news of eternal dominion. H.M., according to the yearly custom, held a feast every day till the culmination, and crowds of men obtained their wishes.

In the beginning of this auspicious year a daughter was born to Prince Sulān Selīm. It was on the 28th (Farwardīn, 6 April, 1589) that the daughter of S'aīd K. obtained this great blessing. Contrary to the custom of contemporaries, it was made an occasion of rejoic­ing. H.M. gave the child the name of 'Affat Bānū* (the modest lady). At this time Muḥibb* 'Alī came from Rohtās, and did homage. For a long time H.M. had desired that he should have the blessing of coming to the Presence. Accordingly his fief was given to Rajah Bhagwant Dās, and Multan was given to him as jāgīr. When the order was conveyed to him, he gladly set his face towards the thres hold. He had the blessing on 14 Ardibihisht, and received varied favours. On the 15th do., 26 April* 1589, Mīyān Tānsen died, and by H.M.'s orders, all the musicians and singers accompanied his body to the grave, making melodies as at a marriage. The joy of the Age was overcast, and H.M. said that his death was the annihilation of ⁵³⁷ melody. It seems that, in a thousand years, few have equalled him for sweetness and art!
