night. At the end of the day, on Friday, I entered the city, scattering about 1,000 rupees on the road. At this time the gardener represented that a servant of Muqarrab Khān had cut down some champā trees above the bench alongside the river. On hearing this I became angry, and went myself to enquire into the matter and to exact satisfaction. When it was established that this improper act had been committed by him, I ordered both his thumbs to be cut off as a warning to others. It was evident that Muqarrab Khān knew nothing of this affair, or otherwise he would have punished him there and then. On Tuesday, the 11th, the Kotwal of the city caught a thief and brought him. He had committed several thefts before, and each time they had cut off one of his members; once his right hand, the second time the thumb of his left hand, the third time his left ear, and fourth time they hamstringed him, and the last time his nose; with all this he did not give up his business, and yesterday entered the house of a grass-seller in order to steal. By chance the owner of the house was on the look out and seized him. The thief wounded the grass-seller several times with a knife and killed him. In the uproar and confusion his relatives attacked the thief and caught him. I ordered them to hand over the thief to the relatives of the deceased, that they might retaliate on him.
“The lines of the face show the thought of your head (?).”
On Wednesday, the 12th, 3,000 rupees were handed over to ‘Aẓamat Khān and Mu‘taqad Khān, that they might go the next day to the tomb of Shaikh Aḥmad Khaṭṭū, and divide it among the fakirs and indigent people who had taken up their abode there. On Thursday, the 13th, I went to the lodging of my son Shāh Jahān, and held a Mubārak - shamba entertainment there, and distributed cups among my private servants. I gave my son the elephant Sundar Mathan,432 which was superior to all my private elephants in speed and beauty and pleasant paces, and competed with horses, and was the first among the elephants, and one much liked by King Akbar. My son Shāh Jahān had a great liking for him, and frequently asked him of me, and seeing no way out of it I gave it to him with its gold belongings of chains, etc., together with a female elephant. A present of 100,000 of darbs was given to the wakils of ‘Ādil Khān. At this time it was represented433 to me that Mukarram Khān, son of Mu‘aẓẓam Khān, who was the governor of Orissa, had conquered the country of Khūrdā, and that the Raja of that place had fled and gone into the Rājmahendra. As he was a khāna-zād (houseborn one) and worthy of patronage, I ordered his mansab, original and increase, to be 3,000 personal and 2,000 horse, and honoured him with drums, a horse, and a dress of honour. Between the province of Orissa and Golconda there were two zamindars, one the Raja of Khūrdā and the second the Raja of Rājmahendra. The province of Khūrdā has come into the possession of the servants of the Court. After this it is the turn of the country of Rājmahendra. My hope in the grace of Allah is that the feet of my energy may advance farther. At this time a petition from Quṭbu-l-mulk reached my son Shāh Jahān to the effect that as the boundary of his territory had approached that of the King, and he owed service to this Court, he hoped an order would be issued to Mukarram Khān not to stretch out his hand, and to acquire possession of his country. It was a proof of Mukarram's valour and energy that such a one as Quṭbu-l-mulk should be apprehensive about his (Mukarram) becoming his neighbour.
On this day Ikrām Khān, son of Islām Khān, was appointed faujdar of Fatḥpūr and its neighbourhood, and presented with a dress of honour and an elephant; Chandar Sen, the zamindar of Haloz (Halwad?),434 was given a dress of honour, a horse, and an elephant. An elephant was also given to Lāchīn Qāqshāl. At the same time Muẓaffar,434a son of Mīrzā Bāqī Tarkhān, had the honour of kissing the threshold. His mother was the daughter of Bārha (Bhārā), the zamindar of Kachh. When Mīrzā Bāqī died and the government of Thatta went to Mīrzā Jānī, Muẓaffar was apprehensive of Mīrzā Jānī, and he took refuge with the aforesaid zamindar. He had remained from his childhood until now in that country. Now that the fortunate retinue had reached Ahmadabad, he came and did homage. Though he had been reared among men of the wilds, and was unfamiliar with civilized ways and ceremonies, yet as his family had had the relations of service with our exalted dynasty from the times of Timur434b —may God make his proof clear!—I considered it right to patronize him. For the present I gave him 2,000 rupees for expenses, and a dress of honour. A suitable rank will be given to him, and perhaps he will show himself efficient as a soldier.
On Thursday, the 20th, I went to the “Garden of Victory,” and contemplated the red roses. One plot had bloomed well. There are not many red roses (gul-i-surkh) in this country, so it was pleasant to see so many here. The anemone434c bed, too, was not bad, and the figs had ripened. I gathered some figs with my own hands, and weighed the largest one. It came to 7 1/2 tolas. On this day there arrived 1,500 melons from Kārīz. The Khān Ālam had sent them as a present. I gave a thousand of them to the servants in attendance, and five hundred to the women of the harem. I spent four days in this garden in enjoyment, and on Monday eve, the 24th, I came to the city. Some of the melons were given to the Shaikhs of Ahmadabad, and they were astonished to see how inferior were the Gujarat melons. They marvelled at the goodness of the Deity.
On Thursday, the 27th, I held a wine-feast in the Nagīna435 garden, which is inside the palace grounds, and which one of the Gujarat Sultans had planted. I made my servants happy with flowing bowls. A pergola (takhta) of grapes had ripened in this garden, and I bade those who had been drinking to gather the bunches with their own hands and partake of them.
On Monday, the 1st of Isfandārmuz, I left Ahmadabad and marched towards Malwa. I scattered money on the road till we reached the bank of the Kānkriyā tank, where I halted for three days. On Thursday, the 4th, the presents of Muqarrab Khān were laid before me. There was nothing rare among them, nor anything that I took a fancy to, and so I felt ashamed. I gave them to my children to take into the harem. I accepted jewellery and decorated vessels and cloths to the value of a lakh, and gave him back the rest. Also about one hundred Kachhi horses were taken, but there was none of great excellence.
On Friday, the 5th, I marched 6 kos, and encamped on the bank of the Ahmadabad River. As my son Shāh Jahān was leaving Rustam Khān, one of his chief servants, in charge of the government of Gujarat, I, at my son's request, gave him a standard, drums, a dress of honour, and a decorated dagger. Up till now it had not been the custom in this dynasty to give to the prince's servants standards or drums. For instance, H.M. Akbar, with all his affection and graciousness to me, did not decide upon giving to my officers a title or a standard. But my consideration for this son is so unbounded that I would do anything to please him, and, in fact, he is an excellent son, and one adorned with every grace, and in his early youth has accomplished to my satisfaction, everything that he has set his hand to.
On this day Muqarrab Khān took leave to go to his home.
As the shrine of Quṭb ‘Ālam, the father of Shāh ‘Ālam Bukhāri, was in the village of Batoh,436 and on my way, I went there and gave 500 rupees to the guardians. On Saturday, the 6th, I entered a boat on the Maḥmūdābād River and went a-fishing. On the bank is the tomb of Sayyid Mubārak Bukhārī. He was one of the leading officers of Gujarat, and his son Sayyid Mīrān erected this monument to him. It is a very lofty cupola, and there is a very strong wall of stone and lime round it. It must have cost more than two lakhs of rupees. None of the tombs of the Gujarat Sultans that I saw came up to one-tenth of it. Yet they were sovereigns, and Sayyid Mīrān was only a servant. Genius and the help of God have produced this result. A thousand blessings on a son who has made such a tomb for his father:436a
“That there may remain a memorial of him upon earth.”
On Sunday I halted and fished, and caught 400 fish. One of them had no scales, and is called the sang-māhī, ‘the stone-fish.’ Its belly was very large and swollen, so I ordered them to cut it open in my presence. Inside was a fish with scales which it had recently swallowed and which had as yet undergone no change. I told them to weigh both fish. The stone-fish came to 6 1/2 seers and the other to nearly 2.
On Monday, the 8th, I marched 4 1/4 kos, and encamped in the village of Moda (Mahāondat). The inhabitants praised the rainy season of Gujarat. It happened that on the previous night and on this day before breakfast some rain fell, and the dust was laid. As this is a sandy country, it is certain that there would not be any dust in the rainy season, nor would there by any mud. The fields would be green and cheerful. At any rate, a specimen of the rainy season has been seen by me. On Tuesday I marched 5 1/2 kos, and halted at the village of Jarsīma (Jarīsamā).437
At this stage news came that Mān Singh Sewṛā had surrendered his soul to the lords of hell. The account of this in brief is that the Sewras437a are a tribe of infidel Hindus who always go with their head and feet bare. One set of them root out their hair, their beards, and moustaches, while another set shave them. They do not wear sewn garments, and their central principle is that no living creature should be injured. The Banyans regard them as their pīrs and teachers, and even worship them. There are two sects of Sewras, one called Patā (Tapā) and the other Kanthal (Kartal). Mān Singh was the head of the latter, and Bāl Chand the head of the Patās.437b Both of them used to attend upon H.M. Akbar. When he died and Khusrau fled and I pursued him, Rāy Singh Bhurṭiyā, zamindar of Bikanir, who had been made an Amīr by Akbar's kindness, asked Mān Singh what would be the duration of my reign and the chances of my success. That black-tongued fellow, who pretended to be skilled in astrology and the extraction of judgments, said to him that my reign would, at most, last for two years. The doting old idiot (Rāy Singh) relied upon this, and went off without leave to his home. Afterwards, when the glorious God chose out this suppliant and I returned victorious to the capital, he came, ashamed and downcast, to Court. What happened to him in the end has been told in its proper place.438 In fine, Mān Singh, in the course of three or four months, was struck with leprosy (juzām), and his limbs fell off him till he was in such a state that death was by many degrees preferable to life. He was living at Bikanir, and now I remembered him and sent for him. On the road he, out of excessive fear, took poison, and surrendered his soul to the lords of hell. So long as the intentions of this suppliant at God's courts are just and right, it is sure that whoever devises evil against me will receive retribution according to his merits.
The sect of the Sewras exists in most of the cities of India, but is especially numerous in Gujarat. As the Banyans are the chief traders there, consequently the Sewras also are plentiful. Besides making idol-temples for them, they have built houses for them to dwell in and to worship in. In fact, these houses are the headquarters of sedition. The Banyans send their wives and daughters to the Sewras, who have no shame or modesty. All kinds of strife and audacity are perpetrated by them. I therefore ordered that the Sewras should be expelled, and I circulated farmans to the effect that wherever there were Sewras in my empire they should be turned out.
On Wednesday, the 10th, I went out to hunt, and shot two nilgaw, one male and one female. On this day the son of Dilāwar Khān came from Pattan, which was his father's fief, and paid his respects. He presented a Kachhī horse. It was a very handsome animal, and pleasant to ride. Till I came to Gujarat no one had presented me with so fine a horse. Its value was 1,000 rupees.
On Thursday, the 11th, I had a wine party on the bank of the tank, and bestowed many favours on those servants who had been appointed to the province, and then dismissed them. Among the promotions was that of Shajā‘at Khān, the Arab, to the rank of 2,500 personal and 2,000 horse. I also gave him drums, a horse, and a robe of honour. Himmat Khān was raised to the rank of 1,500 with 800 horse, and had a robe of honour and an elephant. Kifāyat Khān, who was made Diwan of the province, received the rank of 1,200 with 300 horse. Ṣafī Khān bakhshi received a horse and a robe of honour. Khwāja ‘Āqil had the rank of 1,500 with 650 horse, and was made bakhshi of the Ahadis, and had the title of ‘Āqil Khān. Thirty thousand darbs were given to the wakil of Quṭbu-l-Mulk, who had brought the tribute.
On this day my son Shāh Jahān presented pomegranates and quinces that had been sent to him from Farāh. I had never seen such large ones, and I ordered them to be weighed. The quince weighed 29 tolas 9 mashas and the pomegranate 40 1/2 tolas. On Friday, the 12th, I went a-hunting and shot two nilgaw, a male and a female. On Saturday, the 13th, I shot three nilgaw, two males and one female. On Sunday, the 14th, I gave Shaikh Ismā‘īl, the son of Shaikh Muḥammad Ghauṯ, a robe of honour and 500 rupees. On Monday, the 15th, I went a-hunting and shot two female nilgaw. On Tuesday, the 16th, I again presented the Shaikhs of Gujarat, who were in attendance, with robes of honour and maintenance-lands. To each of them I gave a book from my special library, such as the Tafsīr-i-kashshāf,440 the Tafsīr-i-Ḥusainī,440a and the Rauẓatu-l-aḥbāb.440b I wrote on the back of the books the day of my arrival in Gujarat and the day of presentation of the books.
At the time that Ahmadabad was adorned by the setting up of the royal standards my employment by day and by night was the seeing of necessitous persons and the bestowing on them of money and land. I directed Shaikh Aḥmad the Ṣadr and some other tactful servants to bring before me dervishes and other needy persons. I also directed the sons of Shaikh Muḥammad Ghauṯ, the grandson of Shaikh Wajīhu-d-dīn, and other leading Shaikhs to produce whatever persons they believed to be in want. Similarly I appointed some women to do the same thing in the harem. My sole endeavour was that as I a king had come to this country after many years, no single person should be excluded. God is my witness that I did not fall short in this task, and that I never took any rest from this duty. Although I have not been delighted with my visit to Ahmadabad, yet I have this satisfaction—that my coming has been the cause of benefit to a large number of poor people.
On Tuesday, the 16th, they caught Kaukab, the son of Qamar Khān. He had in Burhanpur put on a faqir's dress and gone off into the wilds. The brief account of his case is this:—He was the grandson of Mīr ‘Abdu-l-Laṭīf, who was one of the Saifī Sayyids and was attached to this Court. Kaukab had been appointed to the Deccan army, and had spent some days with it in poverty and wretchedness. When for a long time he did not get promotion he suspected that I was unfavourable to him, and foolishly took the dress of asceticism and went off to the wilderness. In the course of six months he traversed the whole of the Deccan, including Daulatabad, Bidar, Bijapur, the Carnatic, and Golconda, and came to the port of Dābul.441 From there he came by ship to the port of Gogā, and after visiting the ports of Surat, Broach, etc., he reached Ahmadabad. At this time Zāhid, a servant of Shāh Jahān, arrested him and brought him to Court. I ordered them to bring him before me heavily bound. When I saw him I said to him, “Considering the obligations of service of your father and grandfather, and your position as a houseborn one, why have you behaved in such an inauspicious manner?” He replied that he could not tell a lie in the presence of his qibla and real teacher, and that the truth was that he had hoped for favours, but as he was unlucky he had left outward ties and gone into the wilderness of exile. As his words bore the marks of truth they made an impression on me, and I abandoned my harsh tone and asked him if in his misfortunes he had waited upon ‘Ādil Khān, or Quṭbu-l-Mulk, or ‘Ambar. He replied that though he had been unsuccessful at this Court and had remained thirsty in this boundless ocean of beneficence, he had never—God forbid that he should—approached with his lips other fountains. Might his head be cut off if it had bowed at this Court and then lowered itself at another! From the time that he went into exile he had kept a diary showing what he had done, and by examining it it would be seen how he had conducted himself. These words of his increased my compassion for him, and I sent for his papers and read them. It appeared from them that he had encountered great hardship, and that he had spent much time on foot, and that he had suffered from want of food. On this account I felt kindly disposed towards him. Next day I sent for him and ordered them to remove the bonds from his arms and legs, and gave him a robe of honour, a horse, and 1,000 rupees for his expenses. I also increased his rank by one half, and showed him such kindness as he never had imagined. He repeated this verse—
“What I see, is it, O God, waking or in a trance?
Do I behold myself in such comfort after such torture?”
On Wednesday, the 17th, I marched 6 kos and halted at the village of Bārasīnor (Bālasīnor). It has already been mentioned that the plague had appeared in Kashmir. On this day a report of the chronicler of events arrived, stating that the plague had taken firm hold of the country and that many had died. The symptoms were that the first day there was headache and fever and much bleeding at the nose. On the second day the patient died. In the house where one person died all the inmates were carried off. Whoever went near the sick person or a dead body was affected in the same way. In one instance the dead body was thrown on the grass, and it chanced that a cow came and ate some of the grass. It died; and some dogs that had eaten its flesh also all died. Things had come to such a pass that from fear of death fathers would not approach their children, and children would not go near their fathers. A strange thing was that in the ward in which the disease began, a fire broke out and nearly 3,000 houses were burnt. During the height of the plague, one morning when the people of the city and environs got up, they saw circles on their doors. There were three large circles, and on the face of these (i.e. inside them) there were two circles of middle size and one small one. There were also other circles which did not contain any whiteness442 (i.e. there were no inner circles). These figures were found on all the houses and even on the mosques. From the day when the fire took place and these circles appeared, they say there was a diminution of the plague. This has been recorded as it seems a strange affair. It certainly does not agree with the canons of reason, and my intellect cannot accept it. Wisdom is with God! I trust that the Almighty will have mercy on his sinful slaves, and that they will be altogether freed from such calamity.
On Thursday, the 18th, I marched 2 1/2 kos and halted on the bank of the Mahī. On this day the Jām zamindar443 had the good fortune to kiss the ground. He presented 50 horses, 100 muhrs, and 100 rupees. His name is Jassā, and Jām is his title. Whoever succeeds is called Jām. He is one of the chief zamindars of Gujarat, and, indeed, he is one of the noted rajas of India. His country is close to the sea. He always maintains 5,000 or 6,000 horse, and in time of war can supply as many as 10,000 or 12,000. There are many horses in his country; Kachhī horses fetch as much as 2,000 rupees. I gave him a dress of honour.
On the same day Lachmī Narāyan, Raja of Kūch (Bihār), which adjoins Bengal, did homage and presented 500 muhrs. He received a dress of honour and an ornamented dagger.
Nawāzish Khān, son of Sa‘īd Khān, who had been appointed to Jūnagaṛh, had the good fortune to pay his respects. On Friday, the 19th, I halted, and on Saturday, the 20th, I marched 3 3/4 kos and halted at the tank of Jhanūd. On Sunday I marched 4 1/2 kos and halted at the tank of Badarwālā. On this day there came the news of the death of ‘Aẓamat Khān Gujarātī. On account of illness he had remained in Ahmadabad. He was a servant who knew one's disposition, and did good work. As he had thorough knowledge of the Deccan and Gujarat, I was grieved at his death. In the tank above mentioned I noticed a plant which at the approach of the finger or the end of a stick contracts its leaves. After a while it opens them out again. Its leaves resemble those of the tamarind, and it is called in Arabic Shajaru-l-ḥayā, ‘the plant of modesty.’ In Hindī it is called Lajvantī. Lāj means modesty. It is certainly not void of strangeness. They also call it naghzak, and say that it also grows on dry land.
On Monday, the 22nd, I halted. My scouts reported that there was a tiger in the neighbourhood which vexed wayfarers, and in the forest where it was they had seen a skull and some bones lying. After midday I went out to shoot it, and killed it with one discharge. Though it was a large tiger, I had killed several that were larger. Among them was a tiger which I killed in the fort of Māndū, and which was 8 1/2 maunds. This one weighed 7 1/2 maunds, or 1 maund less.
On Tuesday, the 23rd, I marched over 3 1/2 kos and alighted on the bank of the River Bāyab.444 On Wednesday I marched nearly 6 kos and halted at the tank of Hamda.444a On Thursday I ordered a halt and had a wine party, and gave cups to my special servants. I promoted Nawāzish Khān to the rank of 3,000 with 2,000 horse, which was an increase of 500 personal, and gave him a robe of honour and an elephant, and allowed him to go to his fief. Muḥammad Ḥusain Sabzak,444b who had been sent to Balkh to buy horses, came to Court to-day and paid his respects. Of the horses he brought, one was piebald and was of fine shape and colour. I had never seen a piebald horse of this colour before. He had also brought other good roadsters. I therefore gave him the title of Tijāratī Khān.
On Friday, the 26th, I marched 5 1/4 kos and halted at the village of Jālod.444c Rāja Lachmī Narāyan, the paternal uncle of the Raja of Kūch, to whom I had now given the territory of Kūch, was presented with a horse. On Saturday I marched 3 kos and halted at Boda.445 On Sunday I marched 5 kos and set up the royal standards at Doḥad. It is on the borders of Malwa and Gujarat.
Pahluwān Bahā'u-d-dīn, the musketeer, brought a young monkey (langūr) with a goat, and represented that on the road one of his marksmen had seen the female langur with a young one in its arms on a tree. The cruel man had shot the mother, which on being struck had left the young one on a branch, and had herself dropped on the ground and died. Pahluwān Bahā'u-d-dīn had then come up and taken down the young one, and had put it beside the goat to be suckled. God had inspired the goat with affection for it, and it began to lick the monkey and to fondle it. In spite of difference of species she showed such love as if it had come out of her own womb. I told them to separate them, but the goat immediately began to lament, and the young langur also became much distressed. The affection of the monkey is not so remarkable, as it wanted to get milk, but the affection of the goat for it is remarkable. The langur is an animal belonging to the monkey tribe. But the hair of the monkey (maimūn) is yellowish and its face is red, while the hair of the langur is white and its face is black. Its tail, too, is twice as long as the maimun's. I have written these things on account of their strangeness. On Monday, the 29th, I halted and went to hunt nilgaw. I shot two, one male and one female. On Tuesday also, the 30th, I halted.

p. 134, l. 15. For he died on the 29th read he died in his ninth decade (i.e. between 80 and 90). The Ma'āṯiru-l-umarā, ii, 143, says he was 82 when he died.
p. 134, l. 13 from foot. Instead of ‘he went off alone’ the MSS. have ‘carrying off his life’ (i.e. escaping) with difficulty.
p. 136, n. 1. The opinion expressed in this note is proved to be wrong by General Cunningham's Report, Arch. S., xiv, p. 58. The tombs are those of a musician and his pupil.
p. 140, l. 8. Delete Sylvia olivacea.
p. 143, l. 7. Apparently there were twelve balls, or at least objects, ten being as large as an orange, another being a citron, and the twelfth a surkh. So instead of ‘one to a citron’ we should read, perhaps, ‘a citron and a surkh.’
p. 143, l. 3 from foot. For Ilf read Alf.
p. 147, l. 4 from foot. Delete the word ‘Egyptian’ and also n. 1. It appears from the Ghiyāṯu-l-loghāt that a Quṭbī ruby is a broad ruby suitable for a ring (signet?).
p. 153, l. 13 from foot. For Hamazānī read Hamadānī.
p. 156. According to Terry, Jahāndār was called Sultan Takht because born when Jahāngīr first sat on his throne.
p. 158, l. 9. Perhaps Yūzī = Yūz-bāshī, i.e. centurion. But I.O. 181 has not the word, only saying ‘Shāh Beg Khān,’ and No. 305 has Shāh Beg Khān Būrī (?).
p. 158, l. 10. The passage is wrongly translated. No elephant was presented to Salāmu-llah. The sentence should end on l. 9 after the word ‘panther-keeper,’ which word is probably a mistranslation. Then this new sentence should come, i.e. ‘Salāmu-llah ‘Arab, who is a young man of a distinguished Arabian family (kih az jawānān-i-qarār-dāda-i-‘Arab ast) and related to Mubārak, the governor of Dizfūl, came to wait upon me on account of his being suspicious of the designs of Shāh ‘Abbās (against himself).’ ‘I patronized him,’ etc. (as on p. 158).
p. 158, n. 3, and p. 162, n. 1. Both notes are wrong. The place meant by Jahāngīr is Dizfūl, a town in the Khūzistān province of Persia, and Jūyza is evidently a copyist's error for Khūz or Khūza, another name for Khūzistān. Dizfūl is an ancient name, and according to Yāqūt, Barbier de Meynard's translation, p. 231, the proper spelling is Dizpūl, i.e. ‘the Bridge of the Citadel,’ the town being named after a famou bridge built over the river. For Khūz see B. de Meynard, 216.
p. 160, l. 12 from foot. Qabūlah was a town in the Bet Jālandhar Dū'āb.
p. 163, l. 9. It is 2,000 rupees in I.O. MSS.
p. 163, l. 12. It is not Qāchā Dakhanī in I.O. MSS., but I am not sure what the clause, as given by them, means. No. 181 seems to have bafatāhāīgī for ‘assistance’ (?). Two B.M. MSS. have apparently bafatāhāī kapī, but Add. 26,215 has the Arabic ḥa, while Or. 3276 has the ordinary h, so that the words possibly mean ‘the young of the monkey’ (kapī).
p. 166, l. 2. Ḥusāmu-d-dīn was married to Abū-l-faẓl's sister, Blochmann, 441.
p. 167, l. 16. The word rojh in brackets is wrong. The MSS. have qarā-quyragh and qarā-quyrāgh. P. de Courteille gives quyrūgh as meaning a tail, so perhaps qarā-qūyrūgh means a black-tailed sheep or deer. See p. 129, l. 17, where the qarā-qūyrūgh is said to be the chikāra.
p. 168, last line. The MSS. has ḥabs-i-mazīd, which does not necessarily mean imprisonment for life.
p. 170, n. 2. For Akbar's wives read Jahāngīr's wives.
p. 172, l. 21 seq. Is this the story referred to by Hawkins (Purchas), about Muqarrab having taken a Banian's daughter?
p. 177, note. For one-third of an inch read one and a third inches.
p. 183, l. 8. This is the annular eclipse entered in Dr. R. Schramm's Tables, Sewell's Indian Calendar, as having occurred on 5th December, 1610, which corresponds to 28th Ramaẓan, 1019.
p. 185, n. 3. Persian text, p. 309, l. 11, has the phrase majrā girifta ātash dādand, ‘took aim and fired’ (a cannon).
p. 188, l. 7 from foot. For Naẓīrī, see Rieu, ii, 807b, and Blochmann, 579. He died in 1622 (1613).
p. 191, l. 10. For dhīk (?) read dhīk, i.e. adjutant bird.
p. 191, l. 8. Pātal means ‘red’ or ‘rose-coloured’ in Sanskrit. Query ‘red deer.’
p. 192, l. 2. Add year 1020.
p. 195, last line. The passage is rather obscure, but the meaning seems to be that though formalities are not regarded by the wise, yet weak persons (qāwāṣir, which apparently is a plural of qāṣir), regard externals as the means of paying the dues of friendship (and so we must attend to them). Hence when at this auspicious time a province which had gone out of my (‘Abbās's) possession has been settled by the exertions of angelic servants in accordance with the hopes of well-wishers, I (‘Abbās) have returned to the capital, and have despatched Kamālu-d-dīn, etc.
p. 197, l. 7. For Khankhānān read Khān.
p. 197, l. 12. The I.O. MSS. have a different reading here. They say nothing about three ratis. What they say is, “At this time I had made some inorease in the amounts of weights and measures. For instance, I added one-fourth (siwā'ī) to the weight of the muhrs and rupees.” The sih ratī of text is a mistake for siwā'ī.
p. 197, l. 12 from foot. I.O. MSS. have ‘Sunday in Ṣafar,’ but they wrongly have 1022.
p. 197, l. 9 from foot. Both I.O. MSS. have ‘Neknahar’ instead of ‘in the interior.’
p. 198, l. 11. Or Lohgar.
p. 205, l. 14. I do not think that the translation ‘should not force Islam on anyone,’ or the version in Elliot, vi, 325, ‘Not to forcibly impose Musulman burdens on anyone,’ gives the full force of the words taklīf-i-Musalmānī bar kasī nakunand. I think the reference clearly is to circumcision, and that the words taklīf-i-Musalmānī should be rendered ‘the Muhammadan ceremonial,’ This explains why the injunction comes in immediately after the prohibitions against blinding and mutilation. It has been said, and I believe with truth, that the members of the Delhi royal family never were circumcised. Probably one reason for this was that in many instances they had Hindu mothers. As pointed out in Elliot, the passage is omitted in the Iqbāl-nāma. It also does not occur in the version given in ‘Alī Muḥammad's “History of Gujarat,” vol. i, p. 200 of lithograph.
p. 214, verse. For red read a river.
p. 216. See picture of a turkey in Havell's “Indian Sculpture,” pp. 214–15.
p. 218, l. 10 from foot. About Shāpūr see Ma'āsiru-l-umarā, i, 180.
p. 224, n. 1. For infra read supra, pp. 27 and 30, note.
p. 229, ll. 9 and 14. For Patna read Tatta.
p. 229, note. For brother read brother's son.
p. 231, l. 14 from foot. For Nihālpūr substitute Thālner as in the MSS. The news of the death seems to have reached Agra very quickly.
p. 232, l. 1. Insert the word ‘and’ before ‘allowed.’
p. 234, l. 2 from foot. The word translated ‘cranes’ is kārwānak, and probably means ‘a little crane.’ In Blochmann, 63, karwānak is rendered by ‘stone-curlew.’
p. 234, l. 5 from foot. The word seems to be kunjishk, ‘sparrow,’ in the MSS., but probably it should be kunjak, ‘a curiosity, a rarity.’
p. 235, l. 2. It is Thursday, the 28th, in the MSS., and instead of ‘night’ we should read ‘eve.’ The English date corresponding to 28th Muḥarram is 10th March, 1613.
p. 237, l. 8. It is 1,000 in the MSS., and this is probably correct, though B.M. MS. 1645 has changed the word for 1,000 into one for 100. The ordinary kaukab-i-ṭāli‘ was 100 tolas in weight, see p. 11. At p. 406 two kaukab-i-tali‘s are mentioned of 500 tolas each. It is a mistake, I think, to regard the word muhr as always implying gold. The ordinary kaukab-i-tali‘ was of silver, and these large muhrs were no doubt also of silver. The note 1 to Elliott, vi, 355, is probably incorrect.
p. 237, l. 10. ‘The feast went off well,’ etc. The passage is obscure, but probably the translation should be ‘There was a splendid assemblage (majis shigufta gasht), and after it was over I ordered that they should arrange an illumination.’ The words in text, p. 116, l. 3, are ḥukm kardam kih asbāb u āyin bār kunand. The MSS. have asbāb-i-āyīn rā. No. 181 seems to have bāz kunand, and so has B.M. MS. 1645, but No. 305 has bār kunand, as in text. It may be that the meaning is that Jahāngīr told the servants they might appropriate the decorations, but I rather think the order was to make an illumination. It may also simply mean that he ordered the decorations to be taken down. Bāz kunand ordinarily means ‘to open out,’ bār kunand ‘to load.’
p. 237, l. 12. Delete ‘the’ before Muqarrab.
p. 237, note. I.O. MSS. seem to have zarīn, ‘golden’ (?).
p. 241, l. 5 from foot. I.G., new ed., xvii, 309, speaks of a handsome mosque in Mairtha having been founded by Akbar, but probably it is this one of Shaikh Pīr. Perhaps Shaikh Pīr is the old beggar referred to in Roe's Journal.
p. 247, l. 5 from foot. For chakrī read jhakkaṛ. It was not necessarily a dust-storm.
p. 250, l. 6. The MSS. have Rūp instead of Räwal, and so has Elliot, vi, 335. They have ‘hill country of Mewāt,’ as in text. They have Chitor, and not Jaipūr, as in Elliot, and they make (by error) Jahāngīr speak of the year as the 10th, instead of the 8th. Instead of ‘have’ at l. 12 we should read ‘had,’ and instead of ‘from the Rāwal who was first known as Rāwal,’ they have, as also has Elliot, ‘Rahab, who was the first to take the title of Rānā.’ Rahab is the Rahup of Tod, who says he came to the throne in 1201 A.D.
p. 253, ll. 10 and 11. I cannot find the word pūlta-bāzī. My friend, Mr. Irvine, suggests that we should read paṭṭā bāzī. Paṭṭā means a ‘foil,’ or ‘wooden sword,’ and paṭṭā bāz is given in Forbes as meaning a ‘fencer.’ Paltha mārnā occurs in Forbes as meaning a ‘peculiar posture.’ The yagānagī of l. 11 should be yakāngagi, meaning ‘one body,’ or ‘one limb,’ and corresponds to the yakhāth of Blochmann, 252, both phrases meaning apparently ‘that the fencer fights with one hand,’ that is, ‘without using a shield.’
p. 260, l. 8. This I‘tiqād is the father of Mumtāz-maḥall, the wife of Shāh Jahān. He now became Āṣaf Khān, and apparently the title of I‘tiqād was transferred to his younger brother (or cousin?) Shāhpūr, who was afterwards governor of Kashmir. See Ma'āṯir i, 180. The two previous Āṣaf Khāns of the family are Ghiyāṯu - d - dīn of Qazwīn (Blochmann, 433), and Mīrzā Ja‘far Beg, who was Ghiyāṯu - d - dīn's nephew. The father of Nūr-Jahān was Ghiyāṯ Beg of Tīhran (Blochmann, 508). Blochmann, in his Table, 512, has not mentioned Shāhpūr, i.e. the I‘tiqād who became governor of Kashmir.
p. 261, l. 17 from foot. For mother read mothers (i.e. stepmothers).
p. 261, l. 10 from foot. For nephews read nephew.
p. 278, l. 13. For named read namad, and it should be in italics.
p. 281, l. 2. The permission to beat his drums is explained by the Iqbāl-nāma, p. 79, where it is said that he was permitted to beat his drums in the capital, dar pāy-i-takht.
p. 281, l. 6 from foot. This eclipse is noted in Dr. Schram's Tables as occurring on 19th March, 1615.
p. 282, l. 10 from foot. Delete word ‘Egyptian.’
p. 286, l. 6. For Frank read Venetian. Kār-i-Wanadik, as in MSS.
p. 288, l. 5. Chatūr, instead of Taḥayyur, in No. 305, and Bakhtar (?) in No. 181.
p. 293. According to the Iqbāl-nāma, 80, Kunwar Karan, son of Rānā Amar Singh, became an officer of Jahāngīr, receiving the rank of 5,000 personal and horse. He was the first of the direct royal line of his family to accept office.
p. 293, l. 2 from foot. No. 181 has 102 horses.
p. 294, n. 2. No. 181 has Rasht.
p. 300, l. 18. According to Vullers' Dict., i, 482, a tūlchạ is 96 grains or about half a tola. The Ghīyāṯu-l-loghāt, however, says that tūlcha is merely the Persian form of the Hindustānī tūlā. According to the Burhān-iqāti' a tola is only 2 1/2 māsha in Upper India. Generally it is reckoned as 12 māsha. According to Sir Thomas Roe 2 1/2 tolas were equal to 1 ounce.
p. 317, MS. No. 181 has A.H. date 1025.
p. 321, l. 11. For several bits read some marten skins. See Tūzuk text, p. 308, l. 3 from foot, and Vullers' Dict. ii, 6. The MS. No. 181 has ṣad dāna-i-kīsh, ‘one hundred marten skins.’
p. 321, l. 13 from foot. For transit dues read for keeping open the Pass (rāh-dārī).
p. 321, n. 2. The words in I.O. MSS. seem to be īgāna begāna, which is perhaps a mere jingle on the word afghāna, but may mean ‘known, unknown.’ Jahāngīr puns on the name Qadam, which means ‘a foot, a pace.’ The words occur again at p. 323.
p. 322, last line. Probably ‘āqirī is, or is derived from, ‘aqār, which means a bird whose feathers were used for ornamentation. According to P. de Courteille, Turkī Dict., 384, ‘aqār is a heron.
p. 328, l. 13 from foot. For Shāh Shajā‘at read Shāh Shujā‘. He was Shāh Jahān's second son, and was born at Ajmir on the eve of Sunday, and on 11th Tīr. Apparently this corresponds to 24th June, 1616, which is the date of birth mentioned by Sir Thomas Roe. Beale's date of 12th May is wrong.
p. 332, l. 6 from foot. Here the word tūlcha is used again, and apparently as meaning the same thing as tola; 6,514 tūlchas or tolas would be about 82 sīrs, or over 2 maunds, and about 12 stone. Next year Sir Thomas Roe saw Jahāngīr weighed, and he understood that his weight was 9,000 rupees. If so, his weight would appear to have considerably increased during the twelve months. Perhaps we should read 8,514, instead of 6,514 tūlchas. Hasht (8) and shash (6) are often confounded.
p. 341, l. 8 from foot. For times read days, the word rūz (days) having been omitted from the text.
p. 344, n. 1. Apparently we should read Toda. The difference between it and Nauda is, in Persian writing, only one dot. Toda is mentioned by Roe as the place where he overtook Jahāngīr, and the stages given by him come to 21 kos, counting from Rāmsar, and this agrees very nearly with Jahāngīr's stages from the same place.
p. 351, l. 15 from foot. The MS. No. 181 has the word gaz twice, and makes the pahnā'ī, or width, 175 1/2 gaz (yards).
p. 351, last line. For Būlgharī read Pūlkharī.
p. 352, l. 1. Delete the words ‘of Tīr.’ The month was Bahman, corresponding to January-February, 1617, and 23rd Bahman would be about 1st February. In Sayyid Aḥmad's edition the word Tīr is a mistake for nīz, ‘also,’ the meaning being that the 23rd was a halt as well as the 22nd.
p. 353, l. 2. Ghaznīn Khān is mentioned by Finch under the name of Gidney Khān, and he is said to have been originally a Hindu. But this seems doubtful, as his father's name is given in the Mir'āt-i-Aḥmadī as Malik Khānjī Afghān. See also Bayley's “Gujarat,” p. 15. Jālor is now in Jodhpūr. It is described by Finch.
p. 353, l. 2. This seems to be the case of matricide mentioned in Terry's “Voyage,” p. 362, of ed. of 1777. His statement that it occurred at Aḥmadabad is presumably an oversight. Terry says the matricide was put to death by being bitten by two snakes. See also Irvine's “Manucci,” iv, 422. Apparently the punishment recorded by Jahāngīr took place on the 4th February, for Sir Thomas Roe mentions that they reached Kāliyādaha, the next stage, on 6th February. The bi in biyāsa should be deleted. Jālaur, or Jalor, is in Jodhpūr (I.G., xiv, 29). It used to be in Ajmir. It is not quite clear if Terry was with Roe at Kāliyādaha, but if not he was with him at Ujjain. The execution may have taken place there.
p. 355, l. 16. For ‘from the city of Ujjain,’ etc., read ‘to a rural spot near the city of Ujjain.’
p. 360, l. 22. For 128 1/4 cubits read 28 1/4 cubits. I.O. MS. 181 has 28 1/4 yards. The printed text of Sayyid Aḥmad has 128 1/4 cubits.
p. 362, l. 8 from foot. Delete (Bālchha?).
p. 373, l. 11 seq. This I‘tiqād was the younger brother or perhaps cousin of Āṣaf Khān, the brother of Nūr-Jahān. He was also known as Shāhpūr. See Ma'āṯiru-l-umarā, i, 180.
p. 375, n. 2. Read two diamonds.
p. 406, n. 3. Dīkhtān or Daikhtān seems right. It is so in both the I.O. MSS.
p. 406, l. 11 from foot. These muhrs were probably of silver, and were called muhrs because they were medals rather than coins. Dr. Kehr has given an account of a large muhr which is now apparently in Dresden. See also Richardson's Dict., article Sikka.
p. 407, l. 4. This is Jūna Khān, son of Ghīyāṯu-d-dīn Tughluq. He ascended the throne in 1325 under the title of Muḥammad bin Tughluq.
p. 407, l. 15. This is the prince known as Naṣīru-d-dīn. He ascended the throne as Muḥammad bin Fīrūz in 1387, and again in 1390.
p. 413, ll. 11 and 3 from foot. I.O. MSS. show that Sar-farāz should be Sarafrāz; apparently his present was ‘seven bullock-carts’ (haft rās gāw bahal) and not two bullocks.
p. 417, n. 2. Cancel note. Nārangsar seems right.
p. 417, l. 2 from foot. The words are dah bīst wazn muhr u rūpiya ma‘mūl. Elliot, p. 354, renders this ‘ten and twenty times heavier than the current gold muhr and rupee.’
p. 418, l. 10. See n. 2 in Elliot, vi, 355. Apparently Jahāngīr means that he was the first person to coin double muhrs and double rupees. There is an account of tankas in the Bahār-i-‘Ajam, 261, col. 2, p. 421, n. 2. But it is 27 in I.O. MSS. 113, p. 423, l. 14. A ṭassū is more than a finger-breadth, it is the 1/24 of a gaz or yard, and should be about 1 1/3 inches.
p. 437. I am indebted to my friend Dr. Hoernle for the explanation of the names of the two sects of Sewras. They should be Tapā and Kharatara. Mān Singh's name in religion was Jīn-simha. See Epigraphia Indica, i, 37, and Ind. Antiquary, xi, 250. Mān Singh died at Mairtha (in Jodhpūr) according to the Jain books, in the beginning of 1618. The head of the Tapā sect in Jahāngīr's time was Vījayasena. There is an elaborate paper on the Jains of Gujarat and Marwar by Colonel Miles in the Transactions R.A.S., iii, pp. 335–71.
p. 442, l. 8. There is no previous reference to the outbreak of plague in Kashmir, though there is one to its occurrence in the Panjab. There is an interesting account of the plague in Khāfī Khān, i, 286–8, in which the description is carried down to the time of Aurangzīb.
