Muntakhab al-tawarikh 44: Anniversary of the Coronation.

44

[Text, vol. ii. p. 342.] In A.H. 993 the King held the festival of the anniversary of his coronation, according to the practice established in olden time, during which the King received entertainment from every shopkeeper, and appropriate presents from the nobles, so that even food, scents, and the profits of dancers and fiddlers were carried away into the treasury. From a mansabdar of 5000 to a humble footman, all had to present offerings; and even I, this powerless atom, who was held in no account at all, except that I used to be styled hazári, from holding 1000 bíghas rent-free, and was accustomed to liken myself to the old woman in the story of Joseph (God's blessing on him !), had to present my forty rupees, which received the honour of being accepted. I do not like my position, and should be glad to be in any other !
During this festival, the King's eldest son received a mansab of 12000 ; the second, one of 9000 ; and the third, one of 7000.
