Sultan Murad, Akbar’s fourth son, was born on Thursday, 3rd Muharram, 978, and died of delirium tremens in 1006, at Jalnapur in Berar (Tuzuk, p. 15; Akbarnamah II, p. 443; Khafi Khan, p. 212). He was nicknamed Pahari (Bad. II, 378). He was sabzrang (of a livid complexion), thin, and tall (Tuzuk). A daughter of his was married to Prince Parwiz, Jahangir’s son (Tuzuk, p. 38.)
Sultan Danyal was born at Ajmir, on the 10th Jumada I., 979, and died of delirium tremens, A. H. 1013. Khafi Khan, I. p. 232, says, the news of his death reached Akbar in the beginning of 1014. He was called Danyal in remembrance of Shaikh Danyal, a follower of Mu'in i Chishti, to whose tomb at Ajmir Akbar, in the beginning of his reign, often made pilgrimages. Danyal married, in the beginning of 1002, the daughter of Qulij Khan (No. 42), and towards the end of 1006, Janan Begum, a daughter of Mirza ’Abdurrahim Khan Khanan (Khafi Khan, p. 213), and was betrothed to a daughter of Ibrahim ’Adilshah of Bijapur; but he died before the marriage was consummated. He had three sons :—1. Tahmúras, who was married to Sultán Bahár Begum, a daughter of Jahángír. 2. Báisanghar. 3. Hoshang, who was married to Hoshmand Bánú Begum, a daughter of Khusrau. Besides, he had four daughters whose names are not mentioned. One of them, Buláqí Begum, was married to Mírzá Walí (Tuz., p. 272). Tahmúras and Hoshang were killed by Áçaf Khán after the death of Jahángír (vide Proceedings, As. Society of Bengal, for August 1869). Nothing appears to be known regarding the fate of Báisanghar.
