I–II 132.6 - **Language:** English ### [132.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.132.6) Everyone, small and great, in Hindustan experienced the royal kindness and balminess. Out of his comprehensive kindness, the mother, children and dependants of Sultan Ibrahim were made partakers of his bounty and special stipends were assigned to them. An allowance of a property worth seven lakhs of tankas was made to Ibrahim's mother. Similarly pensions were bestowed on his other relatives. The distracted world was soothed. His Majesty Jahanbani Jannat-ashiyani who had previously arrived at Agra, presented a diamond eight misqals in weight and which was valued by jewellers at one-half of the daily expenditure of the inhabited world. They said that this diamond had belonged to the treasury of Sultan ‘Ala'u-d-din (Khilji). He (Humayun) got it from the family of Bikramajit, the Raja of Gwaliar. His Majesty, from the nobility of his nature, first accepted it and then returned it to him (Humayun) as a present. On Saturday, 29th Rajab, he began to examine and distribute the treasures and hoards, the collections of many kings. He gave his Majesty Jahanbani, 70 lakhs of Sikandari tankas and a treasure-house of which no account or inventory had been taken. To the Amirs, he gave in accordance with their rank from five to ten lakhs of tankas and to every soldier and servant he gave presents superior to their position. All the man of learning, small and great, were made happy by gifts. No one, either in the camp or the cantonment (urdu-bazar) went without a share in the good fortune. - [Previous: 132.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.132.5) - [Next: 132.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.132.7) - [Up: 132](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.132) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.132.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.132.6) · Pramāṇa
