And orders were passed on the Imperial Revenue-officers directing that the Mahals in the possession of Shah Jahan, in the Sarkars of Hisar and Doab, should be transferred to Prince Shaharyar. And injunctions were issued to Prince Shah Jahan, intimating that the Subahs of the Dakhin, and Gujrat and Malwa were bestowed on him, and that he might rule over them, making his headquarters within those limits wherever he pleased, and directing that he should quickly despatch to the Emperor some troops for the expedition to Qandahar. And in the beginning of the month of Khurdad, in the 18th year of the Emperor's accession, in the year 1032 A.H. Asaf Khan, was appointed Subahdar of the Provinces of Bengal and Orissa. Since a daughter of Asaf Khan had been married to Shah Jahan, some malicious persons imputing to Asaf Khan partiality for Shah Jahan, induced the Begam to call from Kabul Mahabet Khan, who was an old enemy of Asaf Khan, and who was also ill-disposed to Shah Jahan. And the Imperial order with the Begam's message was sent for summoning Mahabet Khan. Mahabet Khan on arrival from Kabul, was honoured with an audience by the Emperor. Order was also passed to Sharif Khan, Vakil of Prince Parviz, to hasten to Court with the Prince and the Behar army. And since the Begam was anxious, owing to separation from her brother, that year on the 2nd of the month of Adar, order was given to Asaf Khan to return to Court.
