The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 27.4

27.4

At the time appointed, I left Agra and encamped in the garden of Dahra. The next day was the festival of the Dasahra, and according to rule the horses and elephants were decked out and paraded before me. The mothers (walidaha) and sisters of Khusru represented that he was exceedingly contrite and sorry for what he had done. Having thus excited my paternal affection, I called him into my presence, and arranged that he should come every day to pay his respects to me. I stayed in the garden twenty days, and on the 21st day of Mihr I started, having appointed Khwaja Jahan to the charge of the capital, with its palaces and treasures. On the 2nd Mihr, intelligence arrived that Raja Basu had died at Shahabad, on the Rana’s frontier. On the 10th I encamped at Rup-bas, now called Amanabad. It was formerly the jagir of Rup, but after him I gave it to Amanu-lla son of Mahabat Khan, and I ordered that it should be called by his name. It was one of my regular hunting-grounds, so I went out hunting every day. In these few days 158 deer, male and female, and other kinds of game were killed. * * On the 10th Ramazan intelligence arrived of the death of Kalij Khan, one of the oldest servants of the State, in his eightieth year. He was engaged at Peshawar in controlling the Afghans.] * * *
