208. Mi´rak Baha´dur Arghu´n.
The Ṭabaqát says, he reached a command of 2000, and died. From the Akbarnámah (II., 170, 248) we see that he served in the conquest of Málwah (vide No. 120), and in the pursuit of Sharafuddín Husain (No. 17).
209. La'l Kha´n Kola´bi´.
He is also called La'l Khán Badakhshí (vide p. 438), and served under Humáyún in the war of the restoration (Akbarn. I., 411). He distinguished himself in the defeat of Hemú. Later, he served under Mun'im in Bengal and Oṛísá, and died of fever at Gaur (p. 376).

The Ṭabaqát says he was a commander of 1000, and was dead in 1001.
213. Jala´l Kha´n Qu´rchi´.
Akbar was much attached to him. In the 7th year, he was sent to Rám Chand Bhagelah (No. 89) with the request to allow Tánsín to go to court. In the 11th year, it came to the emperor's ears that J. was passionately attached to a beautiful boy. Akbar had the boy removed; but J. managed to get him again, and fled with him from Court. M. Yúsuf Razawí pursued and captured them. After some time, J. was restored to favour. Later, he took a part in the expedition to Siwánah, and distinguished himself, in the 20th year, in the war with Rájah Chandr Sen of Márwár. During the expedition a Rájpút introduced himself to him, who pretended to be Deví Dás, who had been killed at Mírt'ha, evidently with the view of obtaining through him an introduction to Court. The stranger also reported that Chandr Sen had taken refuge with Kallá, son of Rám Rái and brother's son to Ch. S., and a detachment of imperialists was sent to Kallá's palace. Kallá now wished to take revenge on the stranger for spreading false reports, and induced Shimál Khán (No. 154) to help him. Shimál therefore invited the stranger; but though surrounded by Sh.'s men, the pretender managed to escape. He collected a few men, and entered one night a tent which he supposed to belong to Shimál. But it happened to be that of Jalál, who was cut down by the murderers (end of 983, Akbarn. III., 140).
It was Jalál who introduced the historian Badáoní at Court.
214. Parma´nand, the Khatrí.

215. Timur Kha´n Yakkah.
He served under Mun'im (No. 11) in Kábul, and, in the 10th year, against Khán Zamán (Akbarn., II., 236, 326).
The Timur i Badakhshí mentioned several times in the Akbarnámah (III., 165, 174) appears to be another officer. Vide No. 142.
216. Sa´ni´ Kha´n of Harát.
He was born at Harát, and belonged to the Arlát (<Arabic>) clan. According to the Akbarnámah (I., 379), Mauláná Sání, ‘who is now called Sání Khán’, was in the service of Mírzá Hindál; but after the Mírzá's death (21st Zí Qa'dah, 958) he was taken on by Humáyún. He served in the wars with Khán Zamán.
Badáoní (III., 206) says that his real name was 'Alí Akbar. He was a fair poet, but a heretic, and like Tashbíhí of Káshán, wrote treatises on the Man of the Millennium, according to the Nuqṭawí doctrines (p. 452). Hence he must have been alive in 990.
217. Sayyid Jama´luddi´n, son of Sayyid Ahmad Bárha (No. 91).
Vide above p. 408. He had also served in the final war with Khán Zamán.
218. Jagma´l, the Puṉwár.
He served in the second Gujrát war after Akbar's forced march to Patan and Ahmadábád (p. 416, note).
219. Husain Beg, brother of Husain Khán Buzurg.
220. Hasan Kha´n Batani´.*
The Ṭabaqát classes him among the commanders of 1000. He was at first in the service of the Bengal king Sulaimán, and was present with Sulaimán Mankli (p. 370) and Kálá Paháṛ at the interview between Mun'im and Khán Zamán (No. 13) at Baksar (Buxar). Akbarn., II., 325.
Hasan was killed with Bír Baṛ in the Khaibar Pass; vide p. 204. MSS. often call him wrongly Husain instead of Hasan.
221. Sayyid Chhajhu´,* of Bárha.
The Ṭabaqát says that S. Chhajhú was a brother of S. Mahmúd (No. 75), and distinguished for his courage and bravery. From the family genealogies of the Bárha clan it appears that S. Ch. was a Kúndlíwál. His tomb still exists at Majherah, and according to the inscription he died in 967.
222. Munsif Kha´n, Sulṭán Muhammad of Harát.
223. Qa´zi´ Kha´n Bakhshi´.
Some MSS. have Badakhshí instead of Bakhshi. Vide No. 144. On p. 383, l. 10, we have to read No. 144 for No. 223.
224. Ha´´ji Yu´suf Kha´n.
He was at first in Kámrán's service. In the 12th year, he joined the corps of Qiyá Khán (No. 33), and rendered assistance to M. Yúsuf Khán, whom Khán Zamán No. 13) besieged in Qanauj. In the 17th year, he operated under Khán 'A´lam (No. 58) against M. Ibráhím Husain, and was present in the battle of Sarnál.

The Tuzuk says (p. 159),—‘On the 9th Khurdád (middle of 1025), Kalyán of Jaisalmír was introduced at court by Rájah Kishn Dás, whom I had sent to him. Kalyán's elder brother was Ráwul Bhím, a man of rank and influence. When he died, he left a son two months old, who did not live long. Bhím's daughter had been married to me when I was prince, and I had given her the title of Malikah i Jahán. This alliance was made, because her family had always been faithful to our house. I now called Bhím's brother to court, invested him with the ṭíká, and made him Ráwul'.*
For Kalyán, vide under No. 226. In the 12th year of Jahángír's reign, he was made a commander of 2000, 1000 horse (Tuzuk, p. 163).
226. Ha´shim Beg, son of Qásim Khán (No. 59).
After the death of his father (39th year) and the arrival of Qulij Khán (No. 42), the new governor of Kábul, Háshim returned to court. In the 41st year, he served under M. Rustam (No. 9) against Bású and other rebellious zamíndárs in the northeastern part of the Panjáb, and distinguished himself in the conquest of Mau. In the 44th year, he served under Faríd i Bukhárí (No. 99) before A´sír.

In the first year of Jahángír's reign, he was made a commander of 2000, 1500 horse. In the 2nd year, his mançab was increased to 3000, 2000 horse, and he was made governor of Oṛísá. In the 6th year, he was transferred to Kashmír, his uncle Khwájagí Muhammad Husain (No. 241) officiating for him there till his arrival from Oṛísá. His successor in Oṛísá was Rájah Kalyán, brother of Bhím (No. 225).
