Together with majesty, dominion, fortune, rectitude, the open-hand and the firm Faith, he had share in prosperity, abundance and the triumph of victorious arms. He won the material world and became a moving light; for his every conquest he looked, as for Light, towards the world of souls. When Paradise became his dwelling and Ruẓwān\[2745\] asked me the date, I gave him for answer, "Paradise is forever Bābur Pādshāh's abode." \_h. Bābur's wives and children.\_\[2746\] Bābur himself mentions several of his wives by name, but Gul-badan is the authority for complete lists of them and their children. 1. \`Āyisha Sulṯān Begīm, daughter of Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā \_Mīrān-shāhī\_ was betrothed, when Bābur was \_cir.\_ 5 years old, in 894 AH. (1488-89 AD.), bore Fakhru'n-nisa' in 906 AH. \[who died in about one month\], left Bābur before 909 AH. (1503 AD.). 2. Zainab Sl. Begīm, daughter of Sl. Maḥmūd Mīrzā \_Mīrān-shāhī\_, was married in 910 AH. (1504-5 AD.), died childless two or three years later. 3.
