Samánjí Khán Qurghují. Vide No. 100. The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 375 - **Language:** English ### [375](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.375) He was a grandee of Humáyún. During the reign of Akbar, he reached the dignity of a Commander of Fifteen Hundred. The Tabaqát says, he was, in 1001, a Commander of 2000. In the same work, he is called a Mughul. In the beginning of the 6th year (middle of 968), he served in Malwah under Adham Khan (No. 19) and was present in the battle of Sarangpur. In the 9th year, he accompanied Muhammad Qasim Khan i Nishapuri (No. 40) and pursued ‘Abdullah Khan ‘Uzbak (No. 14). In the 13th year, he was ordered, together with Ashraf Khan Mir Munshi (No. 74), to go to Rantanbhur and suppress the disturbances created by Mirza Muhammad Husain in Malwah. Later, he held a jagir in Arah. He joined at first the rebellious grandees, but convincing himself of their selfishness, he went back to the Imperial camp. In the 39th year, he was allowed to come to Court, and died a few years later. His sons received employments in the army. From the Akbarnamah (III, 156) we see that he also served in the 21st year under Khan Jahan (No. 24), and was present in the battle of Ag Mahall. In the 30th year, he was in Malwah and was ordered to join the Dak’hin corps. Two years later, he served under Shihab Khan (No. 26) against Rajah Madhukar. - [Previous: 374](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.374) - [Next: 376](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.376) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.375](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.375) · Pramāṇa
