The Institutes of Akbar 366: 135. Ulugh Khān Habshī, formerly a slave of Sultān Mahmūd of Gujrāt.

366

Ulugh Khān is Turkish for the Persian Khān i Kalān (the great Khān). He rose to dignity under Mahmūd of Gujrāt. The word Habshī, for which MSS. often have Badakhshī, implies that he was of Abyssinian extraction, or a eunuch. In the 17th year, when Akbar entered for the first time Ahmadābād, he was one of the first Gujrātī nobles that joined the Imperialists.
In the 22nd year, he served with distinction under Çādiq (No. 43) against Rājah Madhukar Bandelah, Zamīndār of Undchah. In the 24th year, he followed Çādiq, who had been ordered to assist Rājah Todar Mall on his expedition against the rebel ’Arab (Niyābat Khān) in Bihār. He commanded the left wing in the fight in which Khabītah was killed.
He died in Bengal.
