The Book of Akbar 374.4

374.4

Yūsuf Muhammad Khān encountered with the sword Bairām Khān, and his Khāns and Sultāns, and your Majesty gave him the title of Khān. The authorities gave him an order for one kror, but it has no assignment (tan). They gave one kror as a reward to this servant who has been exalted by the title of Khān A‘azim. Out of the whole of it the authorities assigned (only) forty lakhs on Fīrūzpūr. Protector of the world! all the retainers of this well-wisher have for a lifetime been serving with their brothers and sons in expectation (of reward). And now by your Majesty’s good fortune each has been exalted by the title of Khān and Sultān. As the flag, kettle-drum and tūman-togh of Bairām Khān have been presented to this humble one, and as after the victory over Bairām Khān his dāgī and khil‘at-i-fattahī (robe of victory?) and the insignia of his dignity have been granted, and his rank bestowed upon him, he is hopeful that his office also will be assigned to this humble one.”
