The Institutes of Akbar 295: No. 68. Pa’yandah Kha’n, Mughul, son of Haji Muhammad Khan Koki’s brother.

295

Haji Muhammad and Shah Muhammad, his brother, had been killed by Humayun for treason on his return from Persia. Haji Muhammad was a man of great daring, and his value, when he was faithful, was often acknowledged by the Emperor. Payandah, in the 5th year of Akbar’s reign came with Mun’im from Kabul, and was ordered to accompany Adham Khan (No. 19) to Malwah. In the 19th year, he accompanied Mun’im to Bengal. In the 22nd year, he served under Bhagwan Das against Rana Partab. In the Gujrat war, he commanded M. ’Abdurrahim’s (No. 29) harawal. In the 32nd year, he received G’horag’hat as jagir, whither he went.
This is all the Maasir says regarding Payandah.
His full name was Muhammad Payandah. He had a son Wali Beg who is mentioned below (No. 359).
From the Tuzuk, p. 144, we see that Payandah died in 1024 A.H. Jahangir, in 1017, had pensioned him off, as he was too old. Tuz., p. 68.
