Badáoní (III, 297) says that he was captured, when a child, by a soldier in one of the wars with India, and was taken to Humáyún, who brought him up with Mírzá Muhammad Hakím, Akbar's brother. He played several musical instruments and composed poems. He came to India with Ghází Khán i Badakhshí (No. 144).

He served in the 21st year against Daudá, son of Surjan Háḍá (No. 96), and afterwards in Bengal. In 989, the 26th year, he was tuyúldár of Gházípúr, and hunted down Ma'çúm Khán Farankhúdí, after the latter had plundered Muhammadábád (p. 444). In the 28th year, he served in Gujrát, and commanded the centre in the fight at Maisánah, S. E. of Patan, in which Sher Khán Fuládí was defeated. Akbarn., III., 160, 355, 416.

In the beginning of 993 (end of the 29th year), he served in Gujrát. A daughter of his was married to Prince Salím (p. 310). From the Akbarnámah, III., 623, it appears that he is the son of Rái Rái Singh's brother (No. 44), and perished, in the 36th year, in a private quarrel.

The above list of Grandees includes the names of such Mançabdárs above the rank of commanders of Five hundred as were alive and dead in the 40th year of his Majesty's reign, in which this book was completed; but the list of the commanders from Five hundred to Two hundred only contains such as were alive in that year. Of those who hold a lower rank and are now alive, I shall merely give the number. There are at present

of Commanders of 150 53
Do. of 120 1
Do. of 100, or Yúzbáshís, 250
Do. of 80 91
Do. of 60 204
Do. of 50 16
Do. of 40 260
Do. of 30, or Tarkashbands, 39
Do. of 20 250
Do. of 10 224
[Total, 1388 Mançabdárs below the rank of a Commander of 200.]

Scarcely a day passes away on which qualified and zealous men are not appointed to mançabs or promoted to higher dignities. Many Arabians and Persians also come from distant countries, and are honoured with commissions in the army, whereby they obtain the object of their desires. A large number again, both of old and young servants, receive their discharge, and are rewarded by his Majesty with daily allowances or grants of land, that render them independent.

As I have mentioned the Grandees of the state, both such as are still alive and such as have gone to their rest, I shall also give the names of those who have been employed in the administration of the government, and thus confer upon them everlasting renown.
