The History of Humāyūn (A. S. Beveridge) 27 - **Language:** English ### [27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.27) Professor Blochmann writes the name Babu, but Babu, darling, or Banu, lady, would seem more appropriate for a Persian woman. She was the wife of Shihabu-d-din Ahmad Khan Nishapuri, and was related to Hamida-banu Begam, Akbar's mother. Abu'l-fazl calls her Mama agha. He says that she was a good woman, and that on her death Akbar went to her house and offered condolence because of her relationship to his mother. Shihabu-d-din was damad of Maham anaga, and as damad is presumably used here in its more common sense of ‘son-in-law,’ Babu agha would seem to be a daughter of Maham anaga. Akbar-nama, Bib.
