Takmilah i Akbar-namah 24: Death of the Emperor's Mother.

24

[The progress of the Emperor to Allahabad] was arrested by the accounts which he received of the dangerous illness of his august mother, and his affectionate heart was overwhelmed with grief at her distressing state. On the 20th Shahryur she departed, leaving the world in grief. Akbar clad himself in the deepest mourning, shaved his head and beard, and avoided all ornament in his apparel. Her body was conveyed to Dehli. His Majesty himself placed his shoulder under the bier, and helped to bear it for several paces, and the same office was performed by the chief amirs of the State. Her remains were interred near to those of her illustrious husband.
