On the death of the Emperor Bábar, Prince Humáyún, who arrived from Sambal, ascended the throne at Agra, with the support of Amir Nizámu-d din 'Ali Khalifa, on the 9th Jumada-l awwal, 937 H. (29th January, 1530). The date of his accession is found in the words Khairu-l mulúk. The officers expressed their devotion, and the chiefs and nobles were treated with great kindness. The mansabs and offices which were held under the late sovereign were confirmed, and the royal favour made every one happy and content. On the same day Mirza Hindál arrived from Badakhshán, and was received with great kindness. He was gratified with the grant of two of the treasures (do khazána) of former kings, and as the gold was divided by coffers (kishti), the date was found in the words kishti-zar. The territories were then divided. Mirza Hindal received the district of Mewat in jagir. The Panjab, Kabul, and Kandahar were settled as the jagir of Mirza Kamran. Sambal was given to Mirza 'Askari. Every one of the amirs also received an increase of his jagir.
