The Institutes of Akbar 279: No. 52. Sha’h Buda’gh Kha’n, a descendant of the Uymáq Kal of Samarqand.

279

The Turkish Budágh means ‘a branch of a tree.’ He distinguished himself under Humáyún, and was made by Akbar a Commander of Three Thousand.
In the 10th year, he accompanied Mír Mu’izzul Mulk (No. 61) against Bahádur (No. 22). Though the imperialists were defeated, B. Kh. fought bravely, and was captured. His son, ’Abdul Matlab (No. 83), ran away. In the 12th year, B. Kh. went with Shihábuddín Ahmad (No. 26) against the Mírzás in Málwah, received Sárangpúr as tuyúl, fought under ’Azíz Kokah (No. 21) in the battle at Patan (18th Ramazán 980), and was for a long time Governor of Mándú, where he died. The Tabaqát says, he had the title of Amírul Umará. He was alive in 984, when he met Akbar at Mohiní.
Inside Fort Mándú, to the south, close to the walls, he had erected a building, to which he gave the name of Nílkánt’h, regarding the inscriptions on which the Maásir gives a few interesting particulars.
