80.1

The Nauroz-i Sultani of the thirty-first year of the reign and the first year of the second karn of the reign fell upon Thursday, 19th Rabi'u-l awwal, 993 H. (11th March, 1585). [The usual rejoicings.] At the beginning of this year Mir Murtaza and Khudawand Khan, amirs of the Dakhin, came to the Imperial Court. Their affairs have been already noticed in describing the occurrences in Gujarat. When they were defeated by Salabat Khan, and came to Burhanpur, Raja 'Ali Khan, the governor of that place, took their elephants from them, and he sent 150 of them in charge of his son to the Emperor. The Dakhini amirs were received, and presented their tribute on New Year's Day. Mir Fathu-lla Shirazi, who had the title of 'Azdu-d daula, was now created chief Sadr of Hindustan, and received at the same time a horse, a robe, and five thousand rupees.
