911.4.5

Of all the Mīrzā's daughters, Sulṯānīm Begīm was the oldest. She had no brother or sister of the full-blood. Her mother, known as Chūlī (Desert) Begīm, was a daughter of one of the Aẕāq begs. Sulṯānīm Begīm had great acquaintance with words (_soz bīlūr aīdī_); she was never at fault for a word. Her father sent her out[1027] to Sl. Wais Mīrzā, the middle son of his own elder brother Bāī-qarā Mīrzā; she had a son and a daughter by him; the daughter was sent out to Aīsān-qulī Sl. younger brother of Yīlī-bārs of the Shabān sulṯāns;[1028] the son is that Muḥammad Sl. Mīrzā to whom I have given the Qanauj district.[1029] At that same date Sulṯānīm Begīm, when on her way with her grandson [Sidenote: Fol. 168.] from Kābul to Hindūstān, went to God's mercy at Nīl-āb. Her various people turned back, taking her bones; her grandson came on.[1030]
