Mihr-bānū Begīm was another daughter, Nāṣir Mīrzā's full-sister, two years younger than I. Shahr-bānū Begīm was another, also Nāṣir Mīrzā's full-sister, eight years younger than I. Yādgār-sulṯān Begīm was another, her mother was a mistress, called Āghā-sulṯān. Ruqaiya-sulṯān Begīm was another; her mother, Makhdūm-sulṯān Begīm, people used to call the Dark-eyed Begīm. The last-named two were born after the Mīrzā's death. Yādgār-sulṯān Begīm was brought up by my grandmother, Aīsān-daulat Begīm; she fell to `Abdu'l-laṯīf Sl., a son of Ḥamza Sl. when Shaibānī Khān took Andijān and Akhsī (908AH.-1503AD.). She rejoined me when (917AH.-1511AD.) in Khutlān I defeated Ḥamza Sl. and other sulṯāns and took Ḥiṣār. Ruqaiya-sulṯān Begīm fell in that [Sidenote: Fol. 9b.] same throneless time (_fatrat_) to Jānī Beg Sl. (_Aūzbeg_). By him she had one or two children who did not live. In these days of our leisure (_furṣatlār_)[132] has come news that she has gone to God's mercy. _i. His ladies and mistresses._ Qūtlūq-nigār Khānīm was the second daughter of Yūnas Khān and the eldest (half-) sister of Sl. Maḥmūd Khān and Sl. Aḥmad Khān. (_j.
