(11th March, 1578). The festivals of the Nau-roz and of the Emperor's accession were celebrated in the pargana of Dipalpur, a dependency of Malwa. The Emperor devoted his attention to measures for increasing the prosperity of this country, and the raiyats waited upon him in parties, and made statements of their circumstances. He paid the kindest attention to every one's case, and made a satisfactory settlement of the affairs of the province. Many zamindars became submissive and obedient to his will. Raja 'Ali Khan, the ruler of Asir and Burhanpur, had not been duly subordinate, and it being deemed necessary to chastise him, several amirs, such as Shahabu-d din Ahmad and \* \*, with other jagirdars of Malwa, were sent against him. Shahabu-d din was appointed commander. Shahbaz Khan, the Mir-bakhshi, was to check the brands (of the horses) and the muster of the army. The other amirs were to exercise their diligence, and secure the speedy departure of the force. - [Previous: 65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.65) - [Next: 66.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66.2) - [Up: 66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66.1) · Pramāṇa
