Muntakhab al-tawarikh 42: Rám Chand Bhath.

42

[Text, vol. ii. p. 335.] [The Emperor stayed four months at Allahábád, and from thence he sent Zain Khán Koka and Bírbal, who was formerly in the service of Rája Rám Chand Bhath, on an embassy to Chaurágarh. Rám Chand consented to do homage, and after attending to the duties of hospitality, he detained Zain Khán, and proceeded along with him to Fathpúr, to wait upon the Emperor. He presented a most valuable tribute of one hundred rubies and other precious stones. The value of one of the rubies exceeded 50,000 rupees. He left his son Babu in attendance on His Majesty, but the young man soon obtained leave to return home. Soon afterwards he went to his last home in the hottest hell. This Ram Chand has left no equal behind him for princely generosity. Among his other gifts, he gave a kror of gold (kror zar) to the minstrel Mian Tan Sen in one day. The Mian did not wish to leave the Raja, but a guardsman was sent to bring him back.]
