In this year Mulla ‘Ashqi, who had the title of Khan, and had written a divan and a masnavi (a ridiculous one too!), and who had gone as vakil of Qazi Qadr-ud-din of Lahor to Kashmir, came back, and in company with one Muhammad Qasim by name, ambassador of ‘Ali Khan governor of Kashmir, brought presents of quantities of saffron and musk and costus arabicus, and shawls and other precious products of Kashmir and Tibet. At this time the Emperor sent Hakim ‘Ali, a relative of Hakim-ul-mulk, of Gilan (who is now without an equal in philosophy, and medicine, and other rare sciences) in company with the vakils of ‘Adil Khan of the Dak’hin to Bijagarh. At this time Mir Nizam, sister’s husband to Mirza Shahrukh, came as ambassador from Badakhshan with presents of Badakhshi horses, and glittering rubies, and strings of camels.
