Of the last events and of the final catastrophe, namely the soul-piercing, sense-destroying, heart-rending occurrence of the passing of the empire-adorning Khāqān, and of the march of the caravan-leader of Truth's highway from this perishable caravansarai to the Holy world and to the everlasting kingdom.
In the beginning of winter, when the air was cold, and the constitution became torpid.
From the cold blasts of Mihrgān (autumn)
The life of the garden congealed,
Recuperative powers remained imbedded,
840 There was no start of vegetation,
The rose was bared of her silken kerchief,
The hearts of the trees were congealed,
The rose garden (gulzār) was congealed into clay (gil),
The hundred lamps of the house of mourning died out,
In the garden the glory of the jasmine faded
As when the face of the moon is eclipsed,
The market of flowers and spring broke up,
The world's grandeur was dissolved,
Both the tulip's diadem was reversed
And the cypress's standard laid low.
The wind of autumn blew on the house-garden of world-rule, and the cold blast of Mihrgān passed over the rose-garden of fortune. The ever-vernal flower of the parterre of sovereignty was touched by the hand of decay, and the verdant tree of the garden of the Caliphate lost its foliage. Why should I not speak plainly. The throne-adorner, the world's fortune withdrew his skirt from realm and clime. The sitter on the masnad of glory shook out his sleeve over throne and diadem. The world-lighting luminary which, contrary to the sun and moon, shed his light day and night, became in a moment dark, and the constellation of fortune, the centre of the world's light, which, contrary to the fixed stars and the planets, bestowed its rays night and day, suddenly became extinguished. The sound of the drum of dominion which for years had filled the spheres with joy, at once ceased. The notes of the flute of joy, on hearing which Venus used to dance with joy during the night-time, altogether died away.
The account of this liver-burning, heart-melting catastrophe, which is another name for the grief of time and the terrene, and the despair of men and animals, is as follows. On 12th Mihr, Divine month, 22nd September, 1605, a change occurred in the holy constitution which had given equability to thousands of winters and springs. A great mistake was committed by Ḥakīm 'Alī in spite of his pretensions to medical knowledge. His ignorance was clearly manifested. For eight days he used no remedy. The weakness became great and the illness became powerful. The disease became a bloody flux, and there was a great illness. At this time the foolish physician thought of applying remedies! But from want of knowledge, every medicine which he used to check the disease, assisted it. He had shown similar slackness in the treatment of that learned one of the age, Shāh Fatḥ Ullah Shīrāzī. In these days H.M. said to him on one occasion by way of reproof, “We raised you from the position of a dervish to lofty rank though you had not performed any service, with the idea that one day you would be of use to us. In the end the opposite has appeared.” Thereupon he remembered that wise man of the age, Ḥakīm Abu-l-fatḥ Gilānī and the Galen of the time, Ḥakīm Miṣrī, and lamented over the deaths1259a of those two famous ḥakīms. The following lines apply to the condition of H.M. at this time.
Bid the druggist close his shop,
I've tried his drugs a thousand times,
841 Remove the doctor's forefinger that the sick man
May cease chiding, and the pulse will remain calm.The antidotes do the work of poisons,
Methinks the asp thereof has got new life,
If it is a star's disk break it into clay,
If it is prophets' balm fling it into the dustbin.
The treatment of that physician produced no effect. The debility gradually increased, and matters became critical. In such a state of things that lord of the spiritual and temporal world came out every day with perfect composure at the Darsan1260a and accepted the salutations (kornish) of his subjects. Those waiting in expectation at the gate of the Caliphate gathered light from the sun-rays of the august countenance. When the pangs of weakness seized upon his mental and bodily powers, he spent several days in bed. On the nineteenth1260b day the physician became confounded at his treatment, and withdrew his hand from applying remedies. Either he was afraid of the monarch's wrath or he feared the inmates of the Harem who were showing great impatience. He withdrew from H.M., who was in a state of extreme weakness, and put himself under the protection of Shaikh Farīd, the Mīr Bakhshī. Bravo for the stony-heartedness of that Amīr who applied himself to his protection! On the eve of Wednesday,1260c 4th Abān, 15th October, 1605, H.M. withdrew the shade of his heavenly self from the heads of mortals, and spread out the shadow of his beneficence over the heads of the celestials. The men of this world sate down in the dark days of failure, while the inhabitants of the other world attained their long-cherished wishes. The report of this disaster caused lamentation in heaven and earth. There was a daily-bazaar of consternation and terror, and sorrow and affliction became active. Darkness took possession of the earth, and the evening of sorrow fell upon mortals in the mid??ay of contentment. The lightning of labour and sorrow struck mankind's harvest of joy. The stone of violence and oppression smote on the vases of the hearts of the sincere. Good God! What a personality he was! He was pure from every stain and endowed with all perfections. What a jewel free from every blemish and pure of every stain! Lofty prestige, a happy horoscope, an awakened fortune, complete auspiciousness, a daily-increasing dominion, mounting victoriousness, pleasant friendship, a love of pleasantry, friend-cherishing, foe-destroying, a kingdom-bestowing liberality, a might that overthrew enemies, a world-embracing majesty, a world-conquering resolution, a firmness and gravity together with the working of conspicuous miracles, lofty converse, an illuminated mind, a God-given understanding, an enlightened soul, a taste for knowledge, an expounder of mysteries, and an opener of mysteries, conquest over difficulties, etc., etc.—all these were gathered together in that sublime personality and created astonishment among the lords of insight.
The scrutineers who counted all the perfections
Gave him the title of the Imām of the Age,
He is the spiritual and temporal lord, the unique Akbar Shāh,
Who made the poor, lords of fortune,That elementary mould has gone, from whose spirit
The pure-hearted gathered eternal truths.
On the morning of Wednesday, which deserved to be called the evening of evil and the black night of grief, the pure body, which had been cleansed and washed by the limpid waters of the Divine Mercy, was further bathed according to the custom of mortals, was placed on a bier and brought out from the fortress of Agra. The smoke of sorrow ascended from the people on beholding the unwelcome sight, and there was a storm of weeping. Their hearts wer?? deeply wounded, and burning sighs arose from every quarter, etc., etc.
All the Amīrs and nobles cast dust upon their heads and accompanied the corpse, weeping and lamenting. The sacred garden (Rauẓa Muqaddas) known as Bihishtābād was fixed upon as his resting 843 place and the earthly mould was committed to the earth. Mortals call residence in this inn of five days, Life, but who can comprehend the courts of eternity. For awakened spirits of this calibre the use of the word Death is a mistake.
They ne'er died nor will die those who are spiritual,
Death is but a name in reference to them.
The following words give the date of H.M.'s death. Wafāt-i-Akbar shud, “The death of Akbar occurred,” or, “There was a mighty death.” The following remarkable lines also announce it.
(Here a number of lines are given which are chronograms of Akbar's birth, accession and death.)
May Almighty God preserve the wise and truth-seeing one from the false calumnies which the blind and superficial have brought against that wise sovereign who was the guide of the searchers after truth, and the Lord of the God enlightened.
(Then follows the abridged khātima or conclusion which I have placed at the end of the 46th year.)
OF THE AKBARNĀMA.
P. 13 and elsewhere, read Sh'abān for Shābān.
P. 14, line 13 from foot, after “yet” insert “more.”
P. 14, marginal figure 10 should be about 10 lines higher up.
P. 16, n. 1, add “see p. 66.”
P. 27, l. 11 from foot. For Bīrha read Bārha.
P. 28, n. 2, add “The Maḥmūd who escaped was s. Sikandar or Iskandar, and gave much trouble afterwards in Bihar.” See p. 170.
P. 28, l. 3 from foot. Excise words “made out his expedition,” and substitute “joined the latter's party,” i.e. sided with Lūdī.
P. 30, Ḥāfiẓ, omen from.
P. 30, line 2, insert comma after Bābā K.
P. 49, n. 3. This n. probably wrong. There were more than one Naqīb, e.g. Shāh Fakhru-d-dīn was so called, p. 50. One Naqīb was wounded, see pp. 125, 145, 422. At p. 125, one Sharīf b. Naqīb had such a beautiful voice that his reading moved A. to tears.
P. 54, line 11, add after “Daniel there,” the words “from Āmber.”
P. 71, n., for wagt read waqt.
P. 79, n. 3, for ◌
P. 87, line 6, for “at 500” read “more than 500.”
P. 87, lines 14 and 1 from foot. Two Sohrābs are mentioned here. One is Sohrāb, cousin Ṣādiq K. of Herat, killed that day. The other is Sohrāb Turkamān. He survived and brought in Ikhtiyāru-l-mulk's head, and is mentioned later, p. 191, l. 9. For Gujrāt read Gujarāt; and for Chāk, Cāk.
P. 107, n. 2, for Miriam makain read Miriam makānī.
P. 114, n. 1 and 193, Siwānā should be Siwān, d. Sāran.
P. 115, l. 13 from foot, after the words “Mun'im encompassed him with royal favours” add “and gave him a fief in Sāran.”
P. 115, I do not understand how the cutting of Pūnpūn dam could help siege. Pūnpūn joins Ganges at Fatwa, 7 miles east Patna. Gaya Gazetteer says, p. 8, chief dam is at Kusrah in Jahānābād. Apparently the dam was out when A. arrived, for the river was then in flood, p. 142.
P. 133, l. 12 from foot, for vigorous read rigorous.
P. 150. Perhaps Gorakpūr is correct, though B. thinks Kharakpūr the proper reading.
P. 160. I see that I have misunderstood A. F.'s remarks about his entry into Akbar's service. The sentence beginning with “As he had the pride of common place knowledge” is a mistranslation. The words safar-i-diyār sharqī do not mean the eastern provinces, that is Bihar and Bengal. They mean the land of the East, that is Mongolia and China, and should be read in connection with the remarks of A. F. at p. 117 of the Akbarnāma translation, and which are also translated by Blochmann at p. xii of his introduction to translation of Āīn. They refer to A. F.'s longing to go off to Tibet and China or to Persia or Goa, or rather to Cathay; see p. 114 of L. & E. beginning of 908 (1502); and are interesting, as they remind us that Bābur had a similar longing, and wished to go to China. Perhaps they both thought of the Prophet's advice to seek knowledge even in China! I would now translate the passage at p. 160 of my translation about having the pride of common place knowledge in his head, as follows: “As he (the writer) had the pride of common place knowledge in his head, the desire to go to the eastern countries grew strong in his soul, in spite of the spirit of loyalty and devotion that he cherished for his father. Though he had not the means for such a pilgrimage (safar), yet his idolatrous and self-conceited soul aspired after such an expedition. Also there was pride in the idol-temple of his knowledge. A desire for retirement and for seeing the world was seething in his soul. But he did not think it becoming to take such a step without the permission of his honoured father. That mine of kindness could not bring himself to bid him adieu.” Even now I am not certain if I fully understand what Abul Faẓl means. It is still possible that A. F. means that his father wanted him to do as his elder brother had done; that is, join Akbar and take his chance of service, and that the self-conceited youth still wanted to go his own way, and seek for enlightenment from Lamas and Buddhists.
P. 173. Khān Jahān should be Jahān Khān; he was an Afghān, and b. Sikandar, and Dāūd's officer.
P. 174, n. 1. 435 is p. of P.T. substitute 652.
P. 193, line 9, Siwāna. This is Siwān or Sewān in Sāran d.
P. 203, n. 1, delete S.
P. 210, n. 1, delete this note and also figure 1 in line 2.
P. 212, n. 1. Delete T.R., Ross, 330 and substitute A.N. translation, vol. II, p. 40.
P. 212, line 18, for “will be given” read “has been given.” The reference should have been to the second vol. A.N. p. 40 of translation. There Ḥaidar Beg is called Ḥaram Beg's younger brother. Here he is called barādar dostdār, “beloved brother.” Barādar may possibly mean cousin.
P. 281, for Gadā (beggar) Ālī read Gadā 'Alī.
P. 295, middle of page. Four and a half lines of declamation have been omitted here. They are in praise of Dostam, who was an early playmate of A. The lines are difficult to translate, and are also out of place. For Dostam, see Ma'aṯir U. II, p. 3.
P. 295 and elsewhere. For Ajmere read Ajmīr.
P. 295. Five lines of rhetoric about A.'s discrimination in making appointments have been omitted.
P. 305, 2 lines from foot. Ism'aīl I, should be Ism'aīl II.
P. 328, n. 1. For 259 read 376. I think I have misunderstood the meaning of several passages on p. 328. The fortunate army of page 328, and the corresponding passage in P.T. p. 232, line 3, viz. junūd-i-iqbāl, do not mean, as I thought, Khān Jahān's forces. They mean, I think, the imperial troops personally conducted by A., and which were expected to come to Bengal. Naulaka, I think, meant that when A. came near Tānda, she and her relatives, mantasabān, would appear before him. K. J., I presume, accepted her overtures, and then went back from Sātgāon to his own quarters, that is to Tānda or Siḥḥatpūr, where he died in Shawwāl 986, p. 381. From Sātgāon he seems to have gone in the first place to Bhātī, i.e. the low country of Bengal, see p. 376. A. F., I may remark here, seems prejudiced against K. J., and says as little as possible about his exploits, and accuses him of being at heart a rebel. There are good biographies of K. J. in the Ma'āṯir U. I, 645, and in the Darbār Akbarī, 703. The river Kiyāra of p. 377 of A.N. is probably the Agāra Sindūr of p. 32 of the Mymensingh Gazetteer. The Majlis of the Mymensingh inscription may be the Majlis Dilāwar or the Majlis Pratāp of A.N. 377. It is not likely to be the Pratapāditya of Jessore.
P. 385, for 1589 read 1579.
P. 393, n. 5, for Ijlihād read Ijtihād.
P. 429, n. 2, for p. 20 read p. 29; for Yrghalīq and Yūrghalīgh read Farrakhpūr, i.e. s. Ghalīq K.
P. 442, l. 12. The text is sipri shudan rūzgār-i-Moẓaffar. This would ordinarily mean his death, but as that is not mentioned till later, perhaps what is meant is “disaster.”
P. 449, top line, for 80,000 read 800,000.
P. 470, last line and n. 4. The words “outworks of the fort” and n. 4 are wrong. The word in text is nakhastīn, not nakhastan, and the passage means that the first fort was taken. In the Āīn A., p. 154, Vol. II, J.'s translation, it is stated that Patna had two forts; one was of burnt or pucka bricks, and the other was of kacha, i.e. sun-dried, bricks. It was the latter that was taken. My note 4 should be expunged.
P. 472, last line. The water here mentioned was rain-water.
It was September, and the country was flooded. The Māh Beg
of text is the Tārullah of Badāūnī, Lowe 292, where Tor should
have been Tār. “The flourishing city of Bahīra” and n. 3. I have
written at length to the Numismatic editor J.A.S.B. about Bahīra,
and have endeavoured to show that the proper spelling is Bhera,
and that the place is probably the Bahīra or Bahrah of Blochmann,
mentioned in his translation of the Āīn A., p. 31, and
that it is the Bahīra of the historical part of the Akbarnāma. In
Blochmann it appears as a mint-town, and probably was Shergotty
in Gaya, of which the proper spelling is Shahrghātī, i.e. the
city of the Pass. It was the pass which had to be ascended by
travellers coming from Gaya to Hazārībāgh. Shahr, however, does
not mean a city in the ordinary sense of the word. A. F. uses it
elsewhere to mean a well-cultivated or populated tract of country.
I think too that there are mistakes in Gladwin and Jarrett's
translations of the passage in the account of Gaya. The precious
stones, that is, the serpentine or steatite used for making household
utensils, were a production of Gaya, and not of a foreign country.
The word “foreign” of J. does not occur in the P.T. I am
also inclined to think that the banādar, ◌
P. 475, the name of the fort is not Kant or Kot. It is Kīnt or Kīt, and is spelt in the P.T. of the Āīn II, 423, as Kōt. See also Jarrett II, 157, and B.'s note 2 to 427. It was a dependency of Rohtās. My note 1 to p. 475 is wrong. The fort is mentioned in the Iqbālnāma under the 24th year of A.'s reign. The reason why 'Arab was so savage against Sa'ādat 'Alī Yār was that the latter was formerly 'Arab's ally. Apparently Sa'ādat 'Alī was Khiẓẓr Khwāja's s., but not Gulbadan B.'s. The Muḥibb 'Alī here mentioned is the Rohtāsī one, and the Rohtās is the Bihārī one. —Do. three lines from foot; insert the word “again” between “was” and “made.”
P. 489, middle of page. The passage about dogs (Yīt) wants correction. The meaning seems to be that in that year they were not to be hunted. Apparently the killing of the pariah dogs was considered a sort of duty, or at least as a sport, for we find a Pāyinda Muḥ. mentioned at p. 29, as having the title of Sagkush, or Canicide. He is also mentioned at pp. 611 and at 512 of P.T.
P. 500, n. 3, insert the word “it” after “for.”
P. 508, line 2, for “that” read “the.” The Persian words are ba dastmāya mālikholiyā shādmānī mī khurd. The passage is highly rhetorical, and seems to mean that the foolish Mīrzā concocted mirth with sorrowful ingredients. The allusion to the learned may mean that this class wished for the Mīrzā's success as he posed as the champion of orthodoxy; but more probably means that they were loyal, but foolish in wishing to go out to fight.
P. 509, n. 1, for Bāgh-i-dilkushā read “Bāghhdilgasha.”
P. 511, and n. 1, for B. 114 read 165.
P. 528, for Gorkhattrī read Gorakhattri. A. F.'s visit to the secret chamber is interesting.
P. 535, n. 1, for “is” read “as.”
P. 572, for error read terror.
P. 578. The tank was a small one. It is a mistake to suppose that the Fatḥpūr lake burst. V. A. Smith's account in his Akbar is an exaggeration. In his note the word Solar should be Lunar. The day was A.'s birthday according to the Hijra Calendar, namely the 5th Rajab 990, and the 27th year of the reign. It corresponded to about 28 July, 1582. Only one person of note —a leopard-keeper—was drowned, the account in the Iqbālnāma is to be found at the end of the record of the 27th year, and almost on the same page there is the notice of the murder by A.'s orders of Ma'ṣūm Farankhūdī, who was attacked by Iskandar Qalmāq in his palanquin. There is also the account of the Dumbhouse.
P. 582, n. 1. Though I have said that I have not found Faiẓābād, it really is the well-known city in Oudh. It is the Fyẓābād of I.G., Vol. XII.
P. 584, delete heading (verse).
P. 636, for 14 February 1548 read 1584.
P. 642, went off with some men on a “roadless” road. Does this mean was killed? The words are sipar-i-berāhī shud, perhaps meaning they were trampled by elephants.
P. 645, Divine era introduced, beginning of 29th year.
P. 650, n. 1, for Banān read Banār. Tok or Thok is in Mymensingh d.
P. 677, n. 1, for doubt-thread read double thread.
P. 693, and n. 3, aznās should be arnās, destroyer of foes.
P. 694, n. 5 col. 2, for “on” read “in.”
P. 705, gardens of Sirhind.
P. 708, for 'Abdu-r-Raḥmān read Raḥīm.
P. 718, n. 2, for A. F.'s son read brother. See B. introduction, p. xxiii.
P. 731-32 and Elphinstone's note 1. Elphinstone's note is unjust to A. F., and is founded on an imperfect understanding of A. F.'s words. The words as they appear in the P.T., p. 485 of Vol. III of the A.N. line 7, are darīn shorish tā pānṣad kasrā rūzgār siprī gasht. Elphinstone has misunderstood the force of the word kas, as used by A. F. Kas does not always mean common people or common soldiers. It has also the secondary meaning of persons of rank or otherwise notable. Thus we have the phrase kas u nākas—persons important, and those of no account. And this phrase has been rightly rendered in Richardson's dictionary by the words “Everybody, noble and plebeian.” So too Vullers II s.v. kas, where two meanings are given, “vir et vir dignus, colendus, meritus.”—That A. F. here means officers and other persons of rank is clear from the fact that Ferishta and others make no comment on A. F.'s mention of 500, which they certainly would have done if they had thought that A. F.'s 500 meant common soldiers. For they all speak of the loss as being of thousands: Badāūnī for instance puts the loss at 8,000. It is true that he uses the words kas in the ordinary sense of common people, but this does not affect the correctness of A. F.'s use of the word in a restricted sense. Blochmann has seen the true sense of A. F.'s expression, for he says, p. 345, 500 officers were killed. See also his p. 204.
Pp. 735 and 760. These are two references to a famous pigeon-expert and to pigeon-flying. They should be compared with pp. 298 and 303 of the Āīn Akbarī of Blochmann's translation. The pigeons had arrived at Khairābād Serāi on the west side of the Indus, and A. was so delighted at the news that he had the pigeons brought to him at Lahore before the Turanian ambassador had had his audience. The passage of A.'s letter at p. 760 is to me a little obscure, and it may be that the text is corrupt. The last sentence of the preceding paragraph, “we now are enabled through his kindness to send him” should, I think, be read, “we now are enabled to take the benefit of his (that is, Ḥakīm Hamām's) companionship, and to send him (Ṣadr Jahān).” Then Akbar speaks of the presents he is sending, and expresses his thanks for 'Abdullah's sending Ḥabīb the pigeon-expert, and the birds who are famous for their dexterity in fluttering and recovering themselves after diving. The words inti'ashu ahitizāz appear to be technical terms of pigeon-experts.

P. 895, several mistakes on this page. The Shaikh, in line 1, is apparently Shaikh Zāhid, and the spiritual s. is Shaikh Ṣafī of Ardabīl. This Shaikh Ṣafī was not connected with the Safavis, and his name is sometimes spelt Suffī.—Do. n. 4; Ḥalīma in Arabic means gentle, and perhaps was intended as the Arabic synonym of Maras or Martha, which also means the meek. Despina was the Greek name, and meant mistress.
P. 896, in Persian Ẓill (shadow) seems counted as having only one l.
P. 902, n. 2, for Girnān read Girnau.—
P. 914, n. col. 2, for ṣūjiyāna read sufiyana. B. line 1.
P. 915, n. 1, for ban rū read bar rū.—Do. n. 2, perhaps Sāvdā is Sāvlī in Baroda.—Do. 10 lines from foot, Kūlīān may be the wild tribe in W. India called Kolīs.—Do. n. 4, for Raḥim read Raḥīm. As the note says, it seems to be a mistake for zakhmī.
P. 938, and n. 1, Ampūr may be Omarpūr or Amanpūr in Sind.
P. 940, 11 lines from foot, rebels in eastern province submit.

P. 1021, Qulij K.'s d., wife of P. Daniel.
P. 1027, important passage, as it refers to annexation of two districts in Qandahār, viz. Garmsīr and Zamīn Dāwar. The Mirzās in question are Moẓaffar Ḥusain and his family. See B. 313-14. Moẓaffar was a Safavī and a grandson of Shāh Ism'aīl and a nephew of Shāh Ṭahmāsp. He had four brothers. S. Ṭahmāsp gave Garmsīr and Zamīn Dāwar to his nephews, but the Uzbegs dispossessed them. They, however, recovered possession by A.'s help. Shāh Beg Arghūn, commonly called Khān Daurān—one of A.'s officers and s. Ibrāhīm Beg (see B. 313 and 377 and the M. U., vol. I, 442-45, and A.N. translation p. 999)—became governor of Qandahār. He took part with inhabitants Garmsīr, etc., and induced M. Ḥusain to resign and go to India. Who Muḥ. 'Iwāz was (mentioned A.N. 1027) I do not know. He was not the historian mentioned in B. 347. The fort he took was Terī in Kohāt.
P. 1032, A., his trial by ordeal, and n. 1, for “three horsemen” read “three-horse men,” i.e. men who have three horses. The word barāwardī used in B. 231 not in dictionaries, nor does Irvine explain it. It might be rendered by “enlisted” or by “horse-breeders.”—Do. n. 3; possibly betār is right. As it was a case of branding, a farrier might have been consulted. For methods of ordeal, see B. 205 and Badāūnī Lowe, 368.
P. 1033, Ormuz, Portuguese viceroy, sends two ostriches.
P. 1041, n. 2, in two places read “at” for “al”.
P. 1043, for Sherpur Hurra read Sherpūr Murcha.—Do. 4 lines lower down; for man read men.
P. 1063, 14 lines from foot, for 'Īsāk read 'Īsā K.
P. 1067, for Jalpesh read Jalpes.
P. 1072, n. 1, for elephants read elephant. A. F.'s remark is witty and just.
P. 1073, cf. A.'s gibe at Qulī, J. III, 392, and also B. 34, n. 2.
P. 1085, delete words “native of Ghor.” The meaning of ghorīzāda is given at p. 1080, n. 4. The impostor claimed to be a s. of M. Sulaimān. However, ghorīzāda may mean born in Ghorī, for there was a place of that name. See translation p. 218.
P. 1088, n. 1, for Lain Lankā read Zain Lankā.
P. 1090, account of a lunar rainbow and haloes.
P. 1139, this is an early reference to the use of bills of exchange (hundīs).
P. 1140, 'Īsā K.'s death.
P. 1141, top line. My translation is wrong; instead of that distinguished officer, we should understand Sultan Dāūd; ān buzurg nuyīn means, I think, Daniel the king's son and Nūyīn means, I think, Dāūd and not M. Kh. P.T. 763, line 15 means the king's son, the statement that P. D. had neglected his duties, but that A. now caressed him and sent him off. He left at the second stage, and went off to the Deccan.—Do., I do not find Taltūm mentioned as a seat of government. A better translation is: in old times the ruler of Berar founded the fort of Taltūm. Taltūm is mentioned in the Bādshāhnāma. The A.N. note says it was in the Payanghāt portion of Berar. See supra p. 1131 and n. 2.—Do., near end first para.; perhaps the translation is not quite correct. Instead of nakhastīn being rendered “in the first place,” the translation should be “there were two forts”—the first, i.e. Narnāla, was taken by Sundar Rai. Taltūm was taken later.
P. 1149, insert “14th” before Ramẓān in n. See also B. XXII.
P. 1152, 7 lines from foot, for fort read forts.
P. 1153, for Ṣardār K. read Safdār K.
P. 1169, line 18, for “the last of them had two sons” read “the first of them (i.e. Laṭīf) had two sons.”
P. 1170, for ḥawālāladārān read hawaladārān.—2nd para.; the word translated “souls” is “jāndār.” The word for creatures is “jānwar,” and would have been better translated by the word “animals.” The word kas is here used for persons, and is here used for all classes of mankind.
P. 1171, session. Perhaps it would be better to translate khatam by “recitation” (of the entire Koran). The preposition ba should, I think, be translated here by “from”. It is more likely that Bījāpūr, etc., sent ambassadors than that A. did so. Moreover, the sending of ambassadors to the Deccanī rulers so mentioned a little lower down.—Do. n. 1, for Mubārak read Maqarrab.
P. 1175, for Lādū read Lodī.
P. 1224, second last line, add “son of” after “the.”
P. 1228, in title of chapter read 48th instead of 47th.
P. 1235, Laharī Bandar given P. Selīm.—Do., death of Kedār, Bengal zamīndār.
P. 1236, A.'s orders about travellers' comforts.

P. 1261-62, burial, and chronograms.
OF THE AKBARNĀMA.
The third volume, Bib. Ind. ed., begins in the middle of the 17th year of the reign. This is because the 30th year of Akbar's life ended then. The date nearly synchronises with that of the death of Sulaimān Kararānī, ruler of Bengal. He died in the beginning of Ābān 980 A.H. (11 October, 1572), and Akbar was born 8 Ābān, 949, equal to 15 October, 1542, and so was thirty when the volume begins.
With reference to Blochmann's note, p. 427 of his translation of Āīn Akbarī, it should be pointed out that the Ṭabaqāt-i-Akbarī does not explicitly state that Sulaimān died in 980 A.H., and that Ferishta, who professes to copy the T.A., gives the date of Sulaimān's death as 981. Badāūnī, however, has 980, see Lowe's translation, p. 166, and there seems no doubt that 980 is correct.
I have received much help from the Index to the Persian edition, but it is a mere list, and embarrasses one by the multitude of entries. Thus, it has 84 entries under the word Agra, though nearly all are unimportant. There are only two, or at most three, worth looking up. The indexers have made their lists with considerable care, but some entries are wrong and mix up two or three persons of the same name. Some entries also are under insignificant headings, such as Rajah, Mirzā, etc.

'Ābdī khwāja, s. K. Kilān Jūībārī,
sent Badakhshān, 353, 388, 486, but
this last reference and also subsequent
ones in Persian text may
refer to another 'Ābdī.

of M. Jānī, ruler Sind, 973,
ruler Bokhara, 976 and n. 1.

Do. s. Jahāngīr 'Ali, and
nephew Ḥaram B.
B., 215.
Do. s. 'Azīz koka, 963
(called here 'Abdullah),
981.
'Abdu-l-Hādī, 453, 601, 947 (omitted
in translation).
'Abdu-l-Ḥāī (Is this Badayūnī's
'Abdu-l-Ḥāī of Mashhad, Vol. III
173 ?) There were at least three
men of the name attached A.'s
court. First, a khwāja 'Abdu-l-Ḥāī,
mentioned, p. 591, as employed
on expedition E. provinces 28th
year reign. Secondly, Mīr 'Abdu-l-Ḥāī
Mīr 'Adl., Chief Justice, 881.
If the same person, he is mentioned
again, 947 (omitted translation,
947), see Persian text, 619, as
on military duty Kashmīr, again
in Persian text, 764, 769, 773.
Thirdly, an 'Abdu-l-Ḥāī Feringhī
mentioned in B.M. MS., (Add., 27,
247, p. 299a) as author remark on
Christian monogamy which Bib.
Ind. ed. ascribes to A., see p. 372
and n. 1. If appellation Feringhī
be correct, this man probably an
Armenian and father-in-law of
Zu-l-Qarnain. See Jahāngīr's
Mem. II, 194 and n. There is also
an 'Abdu-l-Ḥāī of Garmsīr mentioned
several times in Vol. I, A.N.
In spite of authority of B.M. MS.,
I think the ascription of remark
about Christians to 'Abdu-l-Ḥāī
Feringhī must be a copyist's gloss,
and that the remark was Akbar's.
It is so in Bib. Ind. ed., where the
characteristic expression “farmūdand”
is used. This occurs also
in an almost illegible MS. in my
own possession. Akbar's views
about the excellence of monogamy,
etc., may be learnt from his remarks
at p. 398 of J. III.

There are 84 entries under Agra
in the Persian index, but most of

to Fatḥpūr and some too,
perhaps, to Aḥmadabad. A. F.
does not really tell us much about
the city. The P. index has it
sometimes under title Dāru-l-khilāfat.
Ahadīs, a body of special servants.
A thousand were assigned to
Selīm (Jahāngīr). They were part
of the 10,000 cavalry bestowed on
him, but received their pay from
imperial treasury. See p. 998 and
n. 3. The h is properly the Arabic
ḥ, and should have one dot under,
it. But according to Badayūnī
A. altered the ḥ into h. See B.
20, n. 1. See also Irvine's Army
of the Moghuls, p. 43. At p. 219
of P.T. the word is spelt Aḥadī,
and the expression yakkah-tāzān
is used as an alternative. They
are also styled there sawārān-i-khāṣa.
I suspect that if A.,
changed the h, he did so on account
of harshness of Arabic h, rather
than from hatred to Arabic.

Gujarātī, 962-64, departs Mecca,
979, sailing from Balāwal; 38th
year of reign, not 39th as stated in
Maaṯir U. and in B. The date is
25 March, 1593, or 15 Farwardīn
of Ilahī year 1002 and 1 Rajab,
1001 A.H., as far as I can make
out. Badayūnī's chronogram
yields, 1002, but he admits this is
a year too much, and that proper
date is, 1001. See Lowe's translation,
401 and n. 2. 'Azīz returned
Balāwal in beginning, 1003, A.H.,
that is in August or September,
1594, so that he seems to have been
absent from India about eighteen
months. In 24 days he arrived
at court from Balāwal, p. 1006.
News of return reached court on
30th Shahriyār, 1003, p. 1004. It
would seem that he must have
been in Mecca for over a twelve
month. The last sentence of the
note, p. 981, of translation is not
correct. Apparently he did not
come to court till November 1594.

Barmer is in Mallānī, d. of Jodhpur.
Proper head of chapter, p.
308, is “concerning the ranks (or
dignities) of the princes.” Persian
word used is tarbīyāt, but
perhaps this is a mistake for
tartīb.

makes it a place, but this seems

reading and means a cross, or

used to mean apparently a tortuous

it by “cross roads,” but this is
doubtful. Perhaps what is meant
is that fugitives went off in agitated
manner or took by-paths. See

the Garwa of map 39 and W. of

The Persian text has a separate
index for places. It seems to
me now that the entries in the
Place-Index might be omitted,
or at least greatly reduced in
number. For, the historical
part of the A. N. seldom has
anything fresh or important
about topography. The proper
place in which to look for
entries of geographical facts is in
the Āyīn Akbarī volumes, and
these can be consulted in the
translations by Blochmann and
Jarrett. There are over eighty
entries in the P.T. under Kabul,
Kabul river etc., etc. But nearly
all are mere names. A similar
remark applies to the entry
‘Kabulis.’ And there are still more
entries under Kashmīr, Kashmīrīs,
and Srinagar.
Kabīr K., s. Bahādur, king Khāndesh,

conqueror. Leaves Lūdī, 31,
goes Ghorāghāt, 169, makes commotion
there, 186, wounded and
defeated, 253, death, 592. Apparently,
there is mistake in B.,
p. 370 and n. 1. Kālā Pahār, also
called Rājū, mentioned as servant
Sa'ādat K., 1154. In my notes
I have identified him with the
Rājū Deccanī who afterwards
gave Imperialists so much trouble.
But I do not suppose he is the
Rājū who was also called Kālā
Pahār. He is mentioned at 592
as having been annihilated, but
perhaps this only means that he
was defeated. For Rājū Deccanī,
sedition-monger, see 1173, 1185,
1189-90, 1192-95, 1199, 1200, 1216.
Kālū Yūsuf-Zai, absconds, 716, 750.
But name Bustān Kālū seems
uncertain, see P.T. 495 n. 3,

figures in this note, viz. 495 and

The geographical entries under this
letter are few and unimportant.
Some well-known places are
mentioned, such as Lahore.
Lucknow, Ludiana and Lahori
Bandar, but there are no details
about them. Readers are referred
to the Āīn Akbarī vols.
The personal list may also be
much reduced.

(Prince-Royal) 1081-82, 1093-94.
The defeat of Rājah Mān
Singh's son Durjan Singh is
mentioned on p. 1093. The word
in Persian text for a landed
proprietor is bumī, and bumīān
is used apparently for the plural.
There is a long article on Mān
Singh in the Darbār Akbarī,
p. 535, but Durjan Singh's
affair is only slightly touched
upon on p. 537. Katrabū is
mentioned in MS. Collector Douglas's
letter of 1790. See A. N.
1093, n. 3. It was Īsā Khān's
capital. The Mymensingh D. G.,
p. 168, has an account of 'Īsā Khān's
parentage. The story of Mān
Singh's challenge probably fictitious.
There is an account of
Mān Singh in Ma'āṯir U. II,
160.

M. is by far the largest letter in
the Persian Index. I have omitted
nearly all the geographical entries,
for the historical part of the
Akbarnāma has very little to
say about them. Readers are
referred by me to the admirable
translations by Blochmann and
Jarrett of the Āīn Akbarī,
supplemented in the case of
Jarrett's second volume, by the
additional Index to the geographical
names by my friend Mr.
William Irvine and Miss Lavinia
M. Anstey and published by
the A.S.B., New Series, No. 1176,
at Calcutta in 1910, in an extra
fasciculus.
I beg leave to call special attention
to Colonel Jarrett's 2nd and 3rd
Volumes of the Āīn Akbarī
translation, for it is not so well-known
as the almost classical
translation of Vol. I, by Henry
Blochmann. Blochmann's labours
have also been described by
the editor of the German Review,
the Z.D.M.G., in 1878 or 1879.
Jarrett's work was more difficult
than mine, and he of course
was a thorough Persian scholar.
His two volumes contain many
difficult passages, especially in
Abu-l-Faẓl's details about himself,
and in the remarks about Hindūstān.
His translation of
Akbar's sayings might well be
edited and published separately.
It is also still worth while to
look up Gladwin's translation (see
the notice of him in the D.N.B.).
He was a good Persian scholar
and had the use of some good
MSS. I would also once more
suggest the translation and publication
of the Ma'āṯiru-l-Umarā,
and of the Darbār Akbarī.
Mādhū Singh, nephew or cousin
R. Bhagwān Dās, 49 and n. 1, 237,

829, 864, does homage, 870,
1155, has rank 3,000 with 2,000
horse, 1231, 1249 and n. 1. See
B. 418 where 48th year should
be 49th. Perhaps, Mādhū was
also adopted by Bhagwān.
Madhūkar Sāh, Bandīlā R. Orcha,
disobedient, 108 and n. 1, 294-95,
defeated, 324-25, comes court, 379
punished, 803. His s. Rām Singh
does homage, 1122. Apparently
Rām Sāh and Rām Singh are
different. See Ma'āṯir II, 131, and
A.N. translation 803 and note.
Madhūkar was father of Bīr Singh,
the murderer of A. F. The word
Madhūkar seems to be a nickname,
meaning that he made or dealt in
honey. Death, 961.

Ma'āṯiru-l-Umarā III, 324.
Māl Deo Rāo of Jodhpur, there
are several entries in P.T. but he
had been long dead, and the only
thing interesting about him in
the third vol. refers to his granddaughter-in-law's
attempted satī.
She was widow of Jaimal, a nephew
of Bhagwān Das and she
did not want to burn. She was
e.d. of the Mothā (Fat) Rājah.
Akbar saved her. Abu-l-Faẓl,
pp. 594-95 and n., tells the story
badly, for he does not mention
the site of the proposed satī,
nor how far A. had to ride.
With regard to p. 595 n. 2, I am
now inclined to think that Chāstī
is right and that A. was breakfasting
when the news came.
The reference in note to p. 63 is
wrong and should be 69. The
account in Ma'āṯir U. II, 1100
under article Rūpsī, does not add
to our information. See also
D.A., p. 141 and Vincent Smith's
Akbar, 226. The translation in
Elliot is not good. Jaimal had
no forces with him and it is
not clear that he died of sun
stroke. Jagannāth and Rāi Sāl
came with A. Apparently only
Udai is said to have been imprisoned.
B. 427-8 and Mrs.
Beveridge's Bābur, pp. 145 and
342, may be consulted. The occurrence
was in 991 A.H.=A.D. 1583.

or 1023 A.H. See Tūzak

1215, 1232, Kedār Rai and
Magh Rajāh defeated, 1235,
1240, 1250. By far the
best account of Rajāh Mān
Singh seems to be that in
the Ma'āṯiru-l-Umarā II,
160-70. It does not say that
1,500 wives and concubines
burnt themselves at his
death. It says each of the
1,500 bore him one or two
children, but that they all
died before their father
except Bhāo Singh and
that he was a drunkard.
Among other things the
Ma'āṯir U. has a long and
interesting account of the
early history of Orissa and
of its conquest in Sulaimān
Kararānī's time. It
has also detail of Mān's
conquest of Orissa. The
article on Mān Singh in
the D.A. is not so good as
I expected it would be.
Mān Singh Deohra, ruler of Sirohi,
is mentioned in p. 7.
Maner, vill. Patna, d. p. 132 and
n. 3. It says that the Sone joins
Ganges there. There is an account
of Shaikh Yaḥyā, s. Ismā'īl,
see n. 6 and p. 133 and n. 1.
Mānī, the painter and religious
teacher, 283 and n. 3, and p. 998.
See A.A., J.'s translation, Vol.
III, pp. 336-37 and notes. It is
curious that Abu-l-Faẓl and
other orientals have much to
say about Mānī's artistic abilities
while European writers say so
little about this.
Mānikzhāla, 853 and n. Porhaps
this is the famous stupa which
Elphinstone was perhaps the
first European who noticed. See
I.G., Vol. XVII, p. 182, where
it is called Manikiāla.
Manṣūr Khwāja Shāh of Shīrāz,
sent court by Mun'im K., 164,
account of, 273-74. A. F. here
speaks of his josh-i-rashad. This
may mean stern rectitude for
Rashad was Caliph Hārūn's title.
Sent to inspect treasuries, 287,
joined with Moẓaffar and Todar
Mal, 303, mint arrangements of
Jaunpur (Bangāla cannot here
mean Tānda, for that is separately
mentioned in A.A., B.'s translation,
31, so I presume Gaur is meant
here), 321, enquires complaints
against revenue officers, 360, to
inspect treasury at capital, 374,

and his being sentenced and

4. When A. arrived Kābul he
learnt that Manṣūr was innocent.
See T. Akbari in Elliot, V, 422
and 427; also Badayūnī, Lowe's
translation, 300 and 303; and B.
430. Apparently, Manṣūr had
a s. named Bakhtiyār Beg who
eventually became fief-holder of
Siwistān. B. 474, No. 204.

the army went back to

it, and has it any connection
with Shakespeare's lines about
certain stars shooting madly from
their spheres on account of Mary
Stuart who was executed in

Mubārak Shaikh, f. A. F. and s.
Khiẓr Khwāja. Born Nāgor in
Jodhpūr, 911 A.H. (1505 A.D.),
55, 118, d. 967-90. A. F. does
not say his f. drew up the famous
document making A. the spiritual
head of the people, but see n. 1
to p. 395. He does not even say
that his f. saw the document.
His f.'s name is included under
the heading of great sages in
the A.A. The document drawn
up, 987 A.H., or the 24th
year of reign and in August-September
1579. Author D.A.
thinks Mubārak was probably a
slave-girl's child. See his p.
328. A Spanish or Portuguese
correspondent of the Times Literary
Supplement, 1921, says
that the word Imperbicado
applied to Mubārak by Montserrat
means stiff, or vain in
Portuguese but should be written
imptigado or empertigado. See
Father Rudolf's letter in Father
Goldie's First Christian Mission to
the Moghul, p. 97 of ed. of 1897.
Pertica means in Latin a pole or
measuring rod.
Muḥibb 'Alī, s. Bābur's minister.
Niẓāmu-d-dīn Khalīfa.
B. warns us against confounding
him with the
Muḥibb 'Alī styled Rohtāsī.
In fact, the P.T.
Index has mixed up three,
if not four, different men.
However the first two
are the most important
ones. The first, i.e. the
Khalīfa's s., belonged to
a Farghāna family and
was the elder of the
two men. There is a
long biography of him
in the Ma'āṯir U. III,
238. He was a courtier
and intriguer, his w. was
Nāhīd B., d. Qāsim Kokaltāsh,
Bābur's foster b.
Her m. was Māh. Cūcaq,
d. Muqīm Arghūn. There
is a mystery about
Muqīm Arghūn and his
family. But, perhaps,
it is a mystery which
attaches to all men and
women who were born
in remote times and
places. Muḥibb 'Alī,
according to the Iqbālnāma,
died in 991 A.H.,
but another account
gives the date as 989.
He wrote a book on
falconry which is referred
to in Rieu's
Catalogue of Persian
MSS. For mention of
M. A., s. Khalīfa, see
pp. 51, 127-29, 304
(where he is greatly
praised). The last entry
about him is 357 where
we find him offered four
appointments and choosing
that of gov. Delhi.
He and his wife had
much to do with Sind.
See also B. and Ma'āṯiru-l-U.
Do. Rohtāsī. He was a younger
man than the Prime
Minister's son, and a
better man. He was an
excellent soldier and did
good work at Rohtās
and in Bihar generally.
A. F. gives an interesting
account of his
last moments. He had
a son Ḥabīb who was
killed before him. For
M. Rohtāsī, see pp. 251,
280, 420-22, 453, 467-68,
470, 475, where it
is stated that the whole
country from Shahr
Bahīra to Rohtās was
made over to him. For
Rohtās and Rohtāsgarh,
see I.G., Vol. XXI, pp.
322-3. Rohtās is in
the Punjab, and was
named by Sher Shāh
after Rohtāsgarh which
is in the Sasarām subdivision
of Shāhābād.
Muḥibb 'Alī, a third, is M. A. Khwāja.
see B. 546. And a fourth, (Mīr
Muhibullāh), who was also a
Khwāja. See pp. 596, 681, 710.
He is B.'s No. 307. Mujāhid K.
was M. A., s. Khalīfa's grandson
and his mother's name was
Sāmi'ah Begam. See translation

read. Mun'im's Ghane altogether
a failure. Though M. said to have
died of bad air of Gaur, it should
be remembered that he was a
very old man and also had old
wounds. M.'s origin and early
history little known. Apparently
he was a Chaghatā'ī or Moghul.
In A.N. he is often associated
with Tardī Beg. Ma'āṯiru-l-U.
account, Vol. III, 667, is interesting
and tells about history
of Kararānī family of Afghāns
in B. and Bengal. Much information
about Mun'im in Bāyazīd
Biyāt's Memoirs. See J.A.S.B.
for 1898, p. 296. Bāyazīd was
M.'s servant, and was present
at many of his campaigns.
World seems indebted for them
to A. and A. F. But they are
still only in MS. in B.M. and
India Office. Mun'im's f. was
Mīram, and Bairam and he were
M. 'Askarī's guardians. Bāyazīd's
Mem., I.O. MS., p. 87b, tells
how Mun'im hanged Khwāja
Mīrakī, diwan of Miriam Makānī,
who was apparently the historian
Niẓāmu-d-dīn's g.f. Bāyazīd gives
two chronograms of the building
of Jāunpūr bridge. Stewart has
account of bridge in Hist. Bengal.
Mun'im married one of Bābur's
concubines. See Bāyazīd's Mem.,

Do. Beg. Several persons of this
name or title. The first of
them is Shāh Beg Arghūn,
s. Zu-l-Nūn, see B. 362. He
is also called Shujā Beg and
may be distinguished as the
Shāh Beg of Bābur's Mem.
But he is only incidentally referred
to in Vol. III of A.N.;
see p. 977, for account of
how a slave rescued him
from prison. At 596, another
Shāh B. mentioned, and also
at 706. He too was an
Arghūn but he is generally
known as Khān Daurān; he
was s. Ibrāhīm Beg. See B.
377; see also 713, 734, 792.
Builds fort, 809. Another
Shāh Beg, namely the famous
Uzbeg Shaibānī, is referred
to at p. 843; the S. B. of p.
853 is the Khān Daurān; and
so also is he of 863, 887,
929, 972 and 973. At
896, the S. B. is Shaibānī
Uzbeg; at 976 Bābur's S. B.
is referred to; at 979 it is
the K. Daurān who is meant;
and so also at 993, 999, 1000,
1015, 1020, 1030, 1043. Rank
raised to 3,500, 1076, 1160 (?),
his presents, 1211, rank raised
to 5,000, 1225, 1233, 1240.
The Khān Daurān is several
times mentioned in J.'s Mem.
He died when nearly 90 years
of age, J.'s Mem., II, 172. See

B. and others of Humāyūn's
ladies at Chausā. The article
Shāham J. will be found on p. 603,
of Vol. II of the Ma'āṯir U. But
date of death, and perhaps also
place thereof, are wrong. A.N.'s
date is 5 Shahriyūr of the
regnal year 45 (August 1600).

Bābur's time and was afterwards
given by Akbar pargana
A'ẓampūr in Sambal. See B.
461 and the Ma'aṯir U. III,
192, from which B.'s account
is taken. In his old age
Shāh Mīrzā had four sons.
The Sambal Mīrzās were
Persians and Timurids, but
they were cause of mischief in
India. A late member of
family, Moẓaffar Ḥusain M.
married A.'s eldest d. Sulṭān
Khānam. The Mīrzās figure
in A.N., III, on pp. 15, 16,
27, 32-33.

who captured Himū, see

Death and character, 1197.
See also 1196 and Ma'āṯir-U.
II, 605. Shāh Qulī Maḥram
had curious career. His success
in capturing Himū turned
his head, and he, like Khān
Zamān and Moẓaffar of
Turbat, and the great
emperor Bābur, became infatuated
by the abominable
Central Asian vice of sodomy,
and became for a time a jogi
and went into forest because
Akbar, to his great credit,
detested the vice, and insisted
on Shah Qulī's giving up his
catamite. See the interesting
remarks of editor of Ma'āṯiru-l-U.,
and his rather shuffling
view of Shāh Qulī's conduct
and of Akbar's severity at
p. 606 of Vol. II. Also at
p. 607, the account of origin
of Shāh Qulī's title of Maḥram,
i.e. the confidant, admitted

Sher Afgan, that is, tiger-thrower,
was s. Qūch Beg. His real name
was 'Alī Qulī Istajlū and he was
table-attendant of Shāh Ismā'īl II.
The title Sher Afgan is said to
have been given to him by Jahāngīr
when he was Prince Selīm.
It was Akbar who gave Nūr
Jahān in marriage to Sher Afgan
in order to prevent Selīm from
marrying her. Perhaps A.'s interference
was a pity. Sher Afgan's
f. is said to have been slain
in trying to protect Miriam
Makānī. But the story, as told in
B. 455, and which is borrowed in
great measure from the Ma'āṯiru-l-Umarā
II, 572, life of Sher Afgan's
s. Shiroza, cannot be correct
if, as B. says, it refers to the
disaster of Chausā, for Miriam
Makānī was not present there and
was not then Humāy ūn's wife. If
the story be true it must refer to
Ḥājī Begam. In the A.N., III,
Sher Afgan is thrice mentioned,
viz. at 650, 715 and 718, of the
P. T. In the first mention it is
said that A. made Shiroza a
Khān as a reward for his father's
services. This was in the 39th
year of the reign. The account
of Shiroza will be found at
572-73 of Vol. II of the Ma'āṯir
U. We are not told if Shiroza was
Nūr Jahān's s., or if she was only
his step-mother. For Shiroya
or Shīroya, see 175, 177, 363,
519, 591, 613, 632, 794, 795, 1000,
when he was made a Khān, sent
to Ajmīr, 1006, where Shīroza
should be Shīroya in the translation.

along with Bīrbar in 30th
year of reign, 732, and also 716,

that Ḥasan Patnī or Batanī1262i
had, for his good conduct,
been given by Mun'im Sirkār
Sāran in fief. See P.T., top line,
p. 82. Ḥasan was an Afghān
and was killed by the Yūsufzais
of Chakdara, not in Khaibar as
stated by B., in 1586. He is
highly praised by A. F. for two
things, 1st for pressing that the
dam on the Pūnpūn should be
broken down, 2nd for urging the
capture of Ḥājīpūr. But surely
Pūnpūn is a mistake for Gandak.
Pūnpūn is a small r. and on s. side
Ganges and joins Ganges at
Fatwa, several miles below Patna.
So unimportant is it that the
I.G. does not separately notice it
though it is described in article
“Patna.” Why should breaking of
dam help siege Patna Fort? And
if it could, what harm would
ensue to Imperialists? The dam
did not exist when A. crossed
the Pūnpūn! The Ṭabaqāt A.
says nothing on subject, and it
may here be remarked that
Niẓāmu-d-dīn's account of the
siege of Patna is fuller and
better than A. F.'s and has been

breathing on him. The year was
32nd of reign. T. M. gets leave
but is recalled, 858, d. and character,
861-62, 876. Todar Mal died
on 28 Ābān 998 A.H.=8 November
1589, p. 861. It was the 34th

It is commonly said that T. M.
made a settlement of Kashmīr,
and the I.G., VII, 93, says Todar
Mal made a very summary record.
But this does not appear correct.
A. F. nowhere says the Rājah
made a settlement of Kashmīr,
and it appears to me he never was
in that country. The first settlement
of Kashmīr was made by
'Abdul Majīd (Āṣaf K. No. 1 of
B.). Afterwards Yūsuf K. made
a settlement, B. 346. Qāẓī 'Alī
Baghdādī and others also made a
settlement. This was after T. M.'s
death, and indeed he had for
some years before been past work.
See Badayūnī. The point is important,
for the settlement of
Kashmīr was arbitrarily and badly
made and led to a rebellion,
T. M. was in no way responsible
for this, though perhaps A. F.'s
e.b. Faiẓī was to some extent responsible.
A. F. nowhere says in
the Āīn or in the historical part
of the A.N. that Todar Mal was
ever in Kashmīr, or made any
settlement of it. B. says Todar
Mal died at Lahore. But this
is not quite certain. He had got
leave from A. and was on his
road to Hardwār, but then a
second letter came from A.
intimating that it was better to
go on working and doing good
to the world than to go on pilgrimage.
We do not know when
and where this reached T. M.
But he turned back and died in
the beginning of 998 (11 Muḥarram).
His body was burnt,
apparently, at Lahore, and Rājah
Bhagwān Dās, his colleague in the
charge of Lahore, was present at
the ceremony. See A.N., III,
p. 570. A. was at Kābul near
Bārīk Āb when the news of Todar
Mal's death arrived. His death
took place on 3 Āzar (middle
November, 1589). Two sons are
spoken of. One, Dhārī, was
killed in battle in Sind. Another,
Kalyān Dās, was sent by
T. M. to bring in the Kumāon
Rājah, p. 812. He was left in
charge Lahore, 817.

There is a good deal of confusion about the three or four persons who all bore the name of Yūsuf, and who were connected with Kashmīr in the last days of its independence. Part of this is due to the pedantry of A. F. who insists on calling the last King of Kashmīr Yūsuf K. instead of Yūsuf Shāh. He seems to have been well entitled to the name of King, for he was son of the 'Alī K. Chāk who was King of Kashmīr and was accidentally killed while playing polo. And when the latter died, he seems to have been recognized by the people of Kashmīr as their king. Indeed, A. F. himself calls him, in his list of kings in the Āīn Akbarī, Jarrett, p. 380, Yūsuf Shāh and makes him have two reigns. See also the Ma'āṯir U. III, 954. Then there was the Yūsuf Reẓavī who was a Persian Saiyid and never seems to have been more than a farmer of Kashmīr under Akbar, though B. speaks of him as governor of Kashmīr. He ended his days in the Deccan. He is described in B. 346 as Mīrzā Yūsuf K., s. Mīr Aḥmad Reẓavī. He is the Yūsuf K. of B. 480, and B. tells us that he must not be confounded with No. 388. But it seems to me that B. must have written this caution after he had made the confusion; for, the M. Y. K. of B., whose people assumed a threatening attitude, must be, I think, not the Reẓavī M. Y. K., but the Yūsuf Chāk who became King of Kashmīr. The Persian Index also has confounded the two Yūsufs, for the Reẓavī never got a fief in Bihār. Nor can the Reẓavī, I think, be the M. Y. K. who, according to B. 347, was reinstated at Selīm's request. Yūsuf Shāh had a son Ya'qūb who also became king of the country for a short time. Then there was another Yūsuf who was only a servant of Yādgār the bald man and who was killed by A.'s men. Yūsuf Shāh is the Yūsuf K. Kashmīrī of the Ma'āṯir U. III, 954, who is said, at p. 956, l.c., to have been put under the charge of Todar Mal. I have said elsewhere that Todar Mal probably was never in Kashmīr, and I do not think this statement is contradicted by the above statement that Yūsuf Shāh was put in charge of T. M.; for, even if this was so, it does not follow that Todar Mal ever was in Kashmīr. For, Yūsuf Shāh escaped after he was put under arrest, and got himself recognized as king of the country.

On a former occasion the courtiers drew from the deaths of two famous physicians the comforting augury that Akbar would never be seriously ill again!
↩Text Darshan. See Blochmann, 157. Also called the Jharokah or window. The emperors used to show themselves there to the people, but Aurangzeb abolished the practice.
↩The 19th day of the illness counting from 12th Mihr and not the 19th day of any month. The physician did nothing for eight days, then he gave medicines for ten days and then he ran away.
↩I.O. MS. 260 has Monday, 12th Ābān equal to 20th Jamādu-al-awwal, as the date of the commencement of the illness, but Ābān must be a mistake for Mihr which occurs in text. 20th Jamādu-al-awwal, 1014, corresponds to 23rd September, 1605. The physician, Ḥakīm 'Alī, is said not to have administered any medicines for eight days. He began treating Akbar on the ninth day of the illness, and continued to do so for ten days. At least, this is what MS. No. 260 seems to say.
The root of the confusion about the day of Akbar's death seems to be the Iqbālnāma which, in my copy at least, begins by saying that Akbar fell ill on 12th Ābān. Then it gives the date of death as Wednesday night, 12th Jamādu-al-akhir, 1014, corresponding to 4th Ābān. Consequently the 12th Ābān above mentioned must be a mistake for 12th Mihr. Akbar died on a Tuesday evening for that is what is meant by the night of Wednesday. 12th Jamadu-al-akhir is equal to 15th October, 1605, and was Akbar's birthday. I.O. MS. 260 and Chalmers have Āẕar instead of Ābān, but this is evidently a mistake caused by the Iqbālnāma giving 12th Ābān as the beginning of the illness. I.O. MS. 260 says Akbar died after one par and seven hours of the night. Ferishta has 13th Jamāda-ṯ-ṯānī. The Takmīla-i-Akbarnāma, the work which appears at the close of the Bib. Ind. Akbarnāma, does not mention that Akbar's illness and death were due to agitation produced by a quarrel at an elephant fight between the servants of Jahangir and Khusrū. See Elliot VI, 168.
↩Faiẓī's couplet. Printed at the Baptist Mission Press.
↩But according to B.M. MS. Add. 27247 it was Abdūl Ḥai the Armenian who said this.
↩Māma Āghā was Shihābu-d-dīn's widow, 990 and n. 4, died, 1066.
↩There are several Pāyindas and the P.T. has a good many entries against them. But none of the men seems to have been of much importance Two of them, Pāyinda Ḥasan Ghaznavī and P. Qulī Mogha, translated a small part of Bābur's Mem. See Ethè's Catalogue of Persian MSS. in I.O., n. 214.
↩The entries of Qulīj K.'s name are numerous. I have omitted some of them.
↩Owing to absence of some fasciculi of my translation I have occasionally been obliged to quote the Persian original; they are marked P.T. (Persian Text), and as the pages of the text are marked in the margin of the translation, there will be no difficulty in finding them.
↩I have occasionally noted the Persian Text page for want of the printed copy of translation. This will cause no difficulty, as the P.T. is, as a rule, inserted in the margins.
↩The Mīrzā K. of P.T. 389 is evidently not the Mīrzā K. who was s. of the great Bairām the Khān Khānān. He was an inhab. of Nīshāpūr and related to Shihāb. He is entered in P.T. Index on p. 60, col. a, top of p. See B. 502, No. 303, pp. 624 and also 1116, where my remark identifying him with the K. K, is wrong.
↩Note on Ḥasan Batanī or Patnī and Sāran, p. 115 of translation. Ḥasan Batanī was an Afghān and so at first a partisan of Sulaimān Kararānī and Daniel, but afterwards was won over by A. and Mun'im K. He appears to be a relative of Ḥasan Patnī or to be Ḥasan Patnī himself though the Ma'āṯir calls him Fatḥ K. Patnī or Panī. See Ma'āṯir I, p. 626. A. F. speaks highly of him and especially commends him for his recommending the taking of Ḥājīpūr and the destruction of the Pūnpūn dam. But neither of these things was speedily accomplished, and the cutting of the Pūnpūn dam is to me unintelligible, unless there has been a change in the course of the Pūnpūn since A.'s time. The Pūnpūn is a small stream rising in Gaya d. and falling into the Ganges at Fatwa seven miles below Patna. We are told that Ḥasan recommended the cutting of the dam, because otherwise it would flow towards the Patna Fort and injure it. But how could the water get near that fort, and what harm would ensue to the besiegers if it did? The Pūnpūn was never a large stream, apparently, and now-a-days it is so drained away by irrigation channels that very little of it falls into the Ganges. So unimportant is the Pūnpūn that there is no article on it in the I.G., though it is noticed in the article on “Patna.” In the P.T. of the A.N. it is said at p. 82, that Ḥasan was rewarded for his loyalty by being made fief-holder. Unfortunately, this statement has been inadvertently omitted in my translation. Nothing is said about the Pūnpūn dam in the I.A. and I am inclined to think that A. F. or his copyist has made a mistake and that for Pūnpūn one should read Gandak (the Great), though possibly the river meant is the Gumtī which joins the Ganges near Chunār. The dam on the Gandak might prevent the Imperialists from boating up the river in order to capture Ḥājīpūr. It never was necessary for them to take the Patna Fort, for Dāūd abandoned it after Ḥājīpūr was taken!
↩There are three entries under places beginning with Ṭoī, but they are of no consequence and so I have not recorded them. See P.T., Vol. I, p. 84.
P. 645. The references as note 2 to pp. 257 and 260 are wrong and should be deleted.
A. F.'s account, p. 432, P.T., is obscure, and Professor Dowson has the remark at p. 73 of the 6th volume of Elliot's “History of India” that “the whole description is unintelligible.” But I think that part of this obscurity is due to Dowson's misreading of the Persian text. He translates: “On the west was the hill country south of Tānda.” I do not know if Dowson used the Bib. Ind. edition of the Akbar Nāma. Probably he did, for the words in his note agree with the Bib. Ind. ed. p. 432, ten lines from foot. But they do not support his translation, for they mean “the hill-country of the Khyīn (?) [Additional note: See my note 4, p. 586. I believe that A. F. means the Khās or Cossyah tribe, i.e. the inhabitants of the Cossyah Hills. They are therefore allied to the Santāls; see I.G., I, 296 and VI, 44 and 46. A. F.'s word may however be Khyïn or Chīn and be an allusion to an Arracanese tribe. See p. 587, note.] tribe; on the south is Tānda;” see my notes pp. 645-47. The Bib. Ind. text then adds: “On the south is Tānda, and on the north is the Ocean!” Obscurity however is caused by the conjunction “also” in “on the north also.” What however the passage means is clear enough: “Tānda lies south of Bhātī and on the north is the Ocean (or salt sea),” that is the upper part of the Bay of Bengal. Perhaps, however, A. F. meant that Tānda and the Bay of Bengal were both south and north of Bhātī, for this would be correct. The southern part of Sylhet would be north of Bhātī and the Bay of Bengal was partly north of Tānda and partly south of it. In making these remarks I do not wish to say anything disparaging about Dowson, who was a good scholar and who did good work on Elliot's History.
I must add that exceedingly great as was Abu-l-Faẓl's industry and very grateful to him as we all should be for his gigantic labours, I do not think that geographical knowledge was his strong point. The want of maps must have been a great drawback to him. I doubt also if he ever was in Bengal or Bihar. His account of the Pūnpūn dam is vague, and I think wrong, and so also is his account of the Bahīra Mint-town.
