The Institutes of Akbar 391: 163. Shamsi, son of Khán i A’zam Mirzá Kokah (No. 21).

391

He was mentioned above on pp. 327 and 328. At the end of Akbar’s reign, Shamsi was a Commander of Two Thousand.
“In the third year of Jahángír’s reign, he received the title of Jahángír Qulí Khán, vacant by the death of Jahángír Qulí Khán Lálah Beg, Governor of Bihár, and was sent to Gujrát as náib of his father. Mírzá ’Azíz had been nominally appointed Governor of that Cúbah; but as he had given the emperor offence, he was detained at Court. Subsequently Shamsí was made a Commander of Three Thousand, and Governor of Jaunpúr. Whilst there, Prince Sháhjahán had taken possession of Bengal, and prepared himself to march on Patnah, sending ’Abdullah Khán Fírúz-Jang and Rájáh Bhím in advance towards Iláhábád. On their arrival at Chausá, Shamsí left Jaunpúr, and joined Mírzá Rustam (No. 9), Governor of the Cúbah of Iláhábád. On Sháhjahán’s accession, Shamsí was deposed, but allowed to retain his Mançab. A short time after, he was appointed to Súrat and Júnágaḍh, vice Beglar Khán. He died there in the 5th year of Sháhjahán’s reign (1041).
Shamsí’s son, Bahrám, was made by Sháhjahán a Commander of 1000, 500 horse (Pádisháhn. I., b., 309), and appointed to succeed his father. Whilst in Gujrát, he built a place called after him Bahrámpúrah. He died in the 18th year of Sháhjahán’s reign (Pádisháhn. II., p. 733).
