Beveridge) 20 - **Language:** English ### [20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.20) Ākā is clearly a title; her personal name I have not found. Her sister who is styled Badī‘a, appears to be named Rābi‘a-sultān. Daughter of Mansūr Mīrzā Bāyqrā and Fīroza Begam Mīrān-shāhī, full and older sister of Sultān Husain Mīrzā. Bābar states (Mems., 176, 177) that she married (his uncle) Sultān Ahmad Mīrzā, and had a son, Kīchak Mīrzā (the young or small prince). But he does not mention her, either as Ākā or otherwise, amongst Ahmad’s wives (Mems., 22), and he says that Ahmad had two sons who died young. Kīchak, however, lived to change his military occupations for literature. It is singular that a marriage of the oldest Mīrān-shāhī of his generation with the oldest Bāyqrā girl should not have been entered in Ahmad’s biographical notice. Mems., 22, 28, 176, 177.
