The beginning of this year coincided with Tuesday, 20th Jumada-l awwal, 965 H. (10th March, 1558), and on the 25th Jumada-s sani His Majesty arrived at Dehli. He then turned his attention to the concerns of his subjects and army, and justice and mercy held a prominent place in his councils. The Khan-khanan, in concert with the ministers and nobles of the State, used to attend twice a week in the diwan-khanah, and transact business under the directions and commands of His Majesty. [Infatuation of Khan-zaman for one of the royal troopers.] In this year Musahib Khan, son of Khwaja Kalan Beg, one of the principal nobles of the late Emperor, was put to death by order of the Khan-khanan, because he had shown great ill-feeling and malice towards the Khan.
