I–II 122 - **Language:** English ### [122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.122) Sultan Muhammad Mirza is the dominion-holding son of Miran Shah. His noble mother was Mihr Nush and of the tribe of Fulad Qlya. The Mlrza always lived with his brother Mlrza Khalil in Samarqand and when the latter proceeded to ‘Iraq, Mlrza Shahrukh told Mlrza Ulugh Beg (his son) what he knew of Muhammad Mlrza's good qualities and praised his noble character; and the Prince (Ulugh Beg) always shewed him brotherly (i.e., cousinly) kindness. Muhammad Mlrza had two sons, Sultan Abu Sa'id Mlrza and Manucihr Mlrza. When he was ill and about to die, Mlrza Ulugh Beg came to inquire after him and the latter strongly recommended his son Abu Sa'id to Mlrza Ulugh Beg. Accordingly Abu Sa'id was brought up with all enjoyment under the care of Ulugh Beg and daily moved upwards on the steps of dominion and fortune under his guidance. One day, one of Ulugh Beg's intimates observed to him “Your cousin (Abu Sa'id) is serving you very zealously” to which the Mlrza replied, “He is not serving us but is learning the arts of conquest and victory from our companionship.” And in this the Mlrza was speaking from his perfect insight and perception. - [Previous: 121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.121) - [Next: 123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.123) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.122) · Pramāṇa
