In the beginning of Jumáda-l awwal, a.h. 937, when the King, who was as dignified as Sulaimán, whose seat is now in Paradise, viz. Zahíru-d dín Muhammad Bábar, left the throne of this world for the eternal heaven, the celestial herald of the Supreme Lord raised the pleasing cry, "We made you king on the earth," to the ears of this rightful prince, and the hand of the kindness of the Creator of souls and substances put the happy robe of royalty on the person of this able monarch, the Conqueror of the World.
"The hope which was excited by prosperity is now realized; The desire which the world entertained is satisfied."
On Friday, the 9th of the said month, in the Jáma' masjid at Agra, the khutba was read in the name and title of this noble king, and the noise of congratulations which arose from the crowd of the people reached beyond the heavens.
