The Táríkh-i Másítá is rare. The only copy with which I am acquainted is in one of the Royal Libraries of Lucknow.

The work was written during the reign of Sháh 'Álam, but as the copy is deficient in some parts of that reign, the precise year with which the history concludes cannot be ascertained.
