Language

314

His name, like that of many other Eunuchs, was ’Ambar. He was one of Bábar’s Eunuchs. When Humáyún left Qandahar for ’Iraq, he despatched I’tibár and others to conduct Maryam Makáni (Akbar’s mother) to his camp. In 952, he left Kabul and joined the emperor, who attached him to Prince Akbar’s suite.
In the 2nd year of Akbar’s reign, he accompanied Akbar’s mother and the other Begums from Kabul to India. Akbar appointed him Governor of Dihli, where he died. He must not be confounded with No. 86.
