290. A´ltu´n Qulij.
291. Ja´n Qulij.
Two MSS. have A´ltún Qulij, son of Khán Qulij, which latter name would be an unusual transposition for Qulij Khán. They are not the sons of Qulij Khán (No. 42), vide Nos. 292 and 293.
A´ltún Qulij is mentioned in the Akbarnámah (III., 554) as having served in Baglánah with Bharjí, the Rájah, who was hard pressed in Fort Molher by his relations. Bharjí died about the same time (beginning of the 33rd year).
| 292. | Saifullah [Qulijullah] | sons of Qulij Khán (No. 42). |
| 293. | Chi´n Qulij, |
Saif is Arabic, and means the same as the Turkish qulij, a sword. Saifullah was mentioned under No. 203. In the beginning of the 33rd year, he served under Çádiq Khán (No. 43) in Afghánistán.
Regarding Mírzá Chín Qulij, the Maásir says that he was an educated, liberal, man, well versed in government matters. He had learned under Mullá Muçṭafá of Jaunpúr, and was for a long time Faujdár of Jaunpúr and Banáras.
At the death of his father, his younger brother Mírzá Láhaurí, the spoiled pet son of his father, joined Chín Qulij in Jaunpúr. He had not been long there, when he interfered in government matters, and caused disturbances, during which Chín Qulij lost his life. His immense property escheated to the state; it is said that it took the clerks a whole year to make the inventory.
In 1022, when Jahángír was in Ajmír, he summoned Mullá Muçṭafá, who had been the Mírzá's teacher, with the intention of doing him harm. While at court, he got acquainted with Mullá Muhammad of T'hat'hah, a teacher in the employ of A´çafjáh (or A´çaf Khán IV.; vide p. 369), who had scientific discussions with him, and finding him a learned man, interceded on his behalf. Muçṭafá was let off, went to Makkah and died.
Mírzá Láhaurí was caught and imprisoned. After some time, he was set at liberty, and received a daily allowance (yaumiyyah). He had a house in A´grah, near the Jamnah, at the end of the Darsan, and trained pigeons. He led a miserable life.
The Maásir mentions a few instances of his wicked behaviour. Once he buried one of his servants alive, as he wished to know something about Munkir and Nakír, the two angels who, according to the belief of the Muhammadans, examine the dead in the grave, beating the corpse with sledge hammers, if the dead man is found wanting in belief. When the man was dug out, he was found dead. Another time, when with his father in Láhor, he disturbed a Hindú wedding-feast, and carried off the bride; and when the people complained to his father, he told them to be glad that they were now related to the Çúbahdár of Láhor.
The other sons of Qulij Khán, as Qulijullah, Chín Qulij, Báljú Q., Bairam Q., Ján Q., held mostly respectable mançabs.
The Tuzuk i Jahángírí relates the story differently. Both M. Chín Qulij and M. Láhaurí are described as wicked men. Chín Q., after the death of his father, came with his brothers and relations to court (Çafar, 1023; Tuzuk, p. 127), and received Jaunpúr as jágír. As the emperor heard of the wicked doings of M. Láhaurí, from whom no man was safe, he sent an Ahadí to Jaunpúr to bring him to court, when Chín Qulij fled with him to several Zamíndárs. The men of Jahángír Qulí Khán, governor of Bihár, at last caught him; but before he was taken to the governor, Chín died, some say, in consequence of an attack of illness, others from wounds he had inflicted on himself. His corpse was taken to Jahángír Qulí Khán, who sent it with his family and property to Iláhábád. The greater part of his property had been squandered or given away to zamíndárs (1024; Tuzuk, p. 148).
294. Abul Fatta´h Ata´li´q,
295. Sayyid Ba´yazi´d of Bárha.
He served in the 33rd year (996) in Gujrát (Akbarn., III., 553). In the beginning of the 17th year of Jahángír's reign (1031), he received the title of Muçṭafá Khán (Tuzuk, p. 344).
In the 1st year of Sháhjahán's reign, he was made a commander of 2000, 700 horse (Pád., I., 183). His name is not given in the list of grandees of the Pádisháhnámah.
296. Balbhadr, the Ráṭhor.
297. Abul Ma'a´li´, son of Sayyid Muhammad Mír 'Adl (No. 140).
298. Ba´qir Ançárí.
He was in Bengal at the outbreak of the military revolt. In the 37th year, he served under Mán Singh in the expedition to Oṛísá (Akbarn., III., 267, 641).
299. Ba´yazi´d Beg Turkmán.
He was at first in Mun'im's service (Akbarn., II., 238, 253). The Pádisháhnámah (I., b., 328) mentions Mahmúd Beg, son of Báyazíd Beg. Vide No. 335.
300. Shaikh Daulat Bakhtyár.
301. Husain, the Pak'hlíwál.
The story of the origin of his family from the Qárlüqs under Timur (vide p. 454) is given in the Tuzuk (p. 290). Jahángír adds, “but they do not know who was then their chief. At present, they are common Panjábís (Láhaurí i mahaz), and speak Panjábí. This is also the case with Dhantúr” (vide No. 392).
Sulṭán Husain, as he called himself, is the son of Sulṭán Mahmúd. His rebellious attitude towards Akbar has been mentioned above, on p. 454. When Jahángír in the 14th year (beginning of 1029) paid him a visit, Husain was about seventy years old, but still active. He was then a commander of 400, 300 horse, and Jahángír promoted him to a mançab of 600, 350 horse.
Husain died in the 18th year (end of 1032; Tuzuk, p. 367). His command and the district of Pak'hlí were given to his son Shádmán.
Shádmán served under Dárá Shikoh in Qandahár (beginning of 1052), and was in the 20th year of Sháhjahán's reign a commander of 1000, 900 horse. Pádisháhnámah, II., 293, 733.
The Tuzuk (p. 290) mentions a few places in the district of Pak'hlí, and has a remark on the thick, strong beer which the inhabitants make from bread and rice.
302. Kesu´ Da´s, son of Jai Mall.
Vide No. 408. One MS. has Jait Mall, instead of Jai Mall. The Pádisháhnámah (I., b., 310) mentions a Rájah Girdhar, son of Kesú Dás, grandson of Jat Mall of Mírt'ha. The Tuzuk frequently mentions a Kesú Dás Márú (Tuzuk, pp. 9, 37, 203).
303. Mi´rza´ Kha´n of Níshápúr. One MS. has Ján for Khán.
304. Muzaffar, brother of Khán 'A´lam (No. 58).
My text edition has wrongly Khán i A'zam, for Khán 'A´lam.
305. Tulsi´ Da´s Ja´don.
He served in 992 against Sulṭán Muzaffar of Gujrát (Akbarn., III., 422).
The Akbarnámah (III., 157, 434, 598) mentions another Jádoṉ, Rájah Gopál. He died in the end of the 34th year, and is mentioned in the Ṭabaqát as a commander of 2000.
306. Rahmat Kha´n, son of Masnad i 'A´lí.
Masnad i 'A´lí is an Afghán title, as Majlis ul Majális, Majlis i Ikhtiyár, &c. It was the title of Fattú Khán, or Fath Khán, a courtier of Islem Sháh, who afterwards joined Akbar's service. He served under Husain Qulí Khán Jahán (No. 24) in 980 against Nagarkoṭ (Badáoní II, 161). The Ṭabaqát makes him a commander of 2000. He seems to be the same Fath Khán whom Sulaimán Kararání had put in charge of Rohtás in Bihár (Bad., II., 77).
He died in the 34th year in Audh (Akbarn., III., 599).
A Rahmat Khán served in the 45th year in the Dak'hin. Rahmat Khán's brother, Sháh Muhammad, is mentioned below, No. 395.
