The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 27.3

27.3

When the Empire devolved upon me, as this conquest had been half effected under my leading, the first army I sent upon foreign service after my accession was this army against the Rana. My son Parwez was appointed to command, and all the resources of my government were applied to the service. Ample treasure and abundant artillery were ready to be sent off, when all was stopped by the unhappy outbreak of Khusru. I was obliged to pursue him to the Panjab, and the capital and interior of the country were denuded of troops. I was obliged to write to Parwez, directing him to return to protect Agra and the neighbourhood, and to remain there; so the campaign against the Rana was suspended. When, by the favour of God, I had quashed Khusru’s rebellion, I returned to Agra, and I then sent Mahabat Khan, ’Abdu-lla Khan, and other amirs against the Rana; but until I started from Ajmir, the Imperial forces had not achieved any success of importance. There was nothing to detain me in Agra, and I felt assured that nothing of any importance would be accomplished till I myself went thither.
