Beveridge) 150.1 - **Language:** English ### [150.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.1) Daughter of Mirza Nuru-d-din Muhammad Chaqaniani and of a daughter of Babar, as to whose name the sources ring changes upon the rose. She appears as Gul-rang (B. and H. sh.), Gul-barg, Gul-rukh. As her mother was a full Turkoman or Turk by descent, it has occurred to me that she may have borne a Turk name, and that the various forms it assumes in the Persian may have their origin in this. As to her maternal parentage there are difficulties. From the Ma'asiru-l-umara, under 1024H., the following information is obtained: Pasha Begam Baharlu Turkoman married (873H., 1469) as her second husband, Sultan Mahmud Mirza Miran-shahi. By him she had three daughters and one son Baysanghar (b. 882H., 1477). One daughter whose name was Saliha-sultan Begam, married Babar and bore him a daughter, Gul-rukh (sic). Gul-rukh married Nuru-d-din Muhammad Chaqaniani, and their daughter was Salima-sultan Begam who married first, Bairam Khan-i-khanan, and secondly, the Emperor Akbar. Abu'l-fazl (Bib. Ind. ed., II. 65) adds the particular that Firdaus-makani gave his daughter Gul-barg (sic), to Nuru-d-din because a daughter of Mahmud and Pasha had been given to Nuru-d-din's grandfather Khwaja Hasan, known as Khwaja-zada Chaqaniani. He also states that Salima-sultan Begam was the issue of Gul-barg's marriage. - [Previous: 149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.149) - [Next: 150.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.2) - [Up: 150](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.1) · Pramāṇa
