The Institutes of Akbar 317: 87. Baha’r Kha’n, (Muhammad) Asghar, a servant of Huma’yu’n.

317

The name of this grandee is somewhat doubtful, as some MSS. read Bahádur Khán. The Maásir does not give his name. The list of the Tabaqát mentions a ‘Bahár Khán, a Khásah Khail Afghán, who held a command of Two Thousand.’ Bahár Khán Khásah Khail is also mentioned in several places in the Akbarnámah. He is therefore most probably the same as given by Abulfazl in this list. Perhaps we have to read Pahár Khán, instead of Bahár Khán; vide No. 407. The notice in the Tabaqát implies that he was dead in 1001.
