The Institutes of Akbar 328.3

328.3

In 1013, Prince Salím (Jahángír) rebelled against Akbar; but a reconciliation was effected by Akbar’s mother, and Salím was placed for twelve days under surveillance. After this, he received Gujrát as tuyúl, and gave up the Çúbahs of Iláhábád and Bihár, of which during his rebellion he had taken possession. Bihár was given to Á’çaf who, moreover, was appointed to a Command of Three Thousand. On Jahángír’s accession, Áçaf was called to court, and appointed atálíq to Prince Parwíz, who had taken the command against the Ráná. The expedition was, however, interrupted by the rebellion of Prince Khusrau. In the 2nd year, 1015, Jahángír, after suppressing Khusrau’s revolt, left Láhor for Kábul, and as Sharíf Khán Amír ul Umará remained dangerously ill in India, Áçaf was made Vakíl and Commander of Five Thousand. He also received a pen-box studded with jewels. But he never trusted Jahángír, as the Emperor himself found out after Áçaf’s death (Tuzuk, p. 109).
