The Akbarī Generations 69: Appearance of a Comet.

69

At this period, at the time of evening prayer, a comet appeared in the sky towards the east, inclining to the north, and continued very awful for two hours. The opinion of the astrologers was, that the effects would not be felt in Hindústán, but probably in Khurásán and 'Irák. Shortly afterwards, Sháh Isma'íl, son of Sháh Tahmásp Safawí, departed this life, and great troubles arose in Persia.
On arriving at Nárnaul, the Emperor paid a visit to Shaikh Nizám Nárnaulí. * * From thence he proceeded to Dehlí, and encamped near the Hauz-i Khás, and paid a visit to the tomb of his father with due ceremony. Then he visited the tombs of the holy men who sleep at Dehlí and dispensed large charities. He next halted at the saráí of Báwalí, and here he was waited upon by Hájí Habíbu-lla, who had visited Europe, and had brought with him fine goods and fabrics for His Majesty's inspection. He started from thence, and passed through the pargana of Pálam. He passed the night in the house of the of the village, and in the morning he directed that the revenue officers, whenever he so rested in the house of a cultivator, should remit the tax and tribute (báj o khiráj) of his cultivated land by way of madad-m'ásh, or help for subsistence. * * * When he arrived at the pargana of Hansi, he went to pay a visit in the town to Shaikh Jamal Hansawi, and made his offerings and alms. Here a despatch arrived announcing that Muzaffar Husain Mirza, after flying from Gujarát, had been taken prisoner by Rája 'Alí Khán, the ruler of Asír and Burhánpur. On the 1st Zí-l ka'da the camp moved for the Panjáb, and a farmán was sent to Rája 'Alí Khán, directing him to send Muzaffar Husain Mirza with his (the Rája's) son to Court.
