The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 28: Campaign against the Rana.

28

[After visiting the tomb of the saint Mu’inu-d din Chishti, the matter of the Rana was again taken into consideration, and I now determined to stay at Ajmir, and to send my dear son Khurram on the expedition. On the 6th I gave him leave to depart, and made him many presents. Besides the men who had already been sent on this service under Khan-i ’azam, I now placed 12,000 horse under the command of the Prince, and after granting presents to the officers, I despatched them. Fidai Khan was appointed Bakhshi. * * Although Khan-i ’azam had requested me to send Khurram on this service, and the Prince himself treated him with much attention, he did not show a proper spirit, and acted in an unsatisfactory matter. I wrote him a very kind letter, * * but my words had no effect upon him, and he still went on in a foolish obstinate way. When Khurram found that he was not hearty in the work, he wrote to me that it was by no means desirable to keep him there, and that his relations with Khusru were the cause of his misbehaviour. So I ordered Mahabat Khan to go to Udipur and bring him away, and I ordered Muhammad Taki Diwan to proceed to Mandisor and convey to Ajmir his children and dependents. * * On the 16th, I received a despatch from Khurram, informing me that an elephant of which the Rana was very fond, and seventeen others, had been taken. He added that their master would soon be a prisoner.]
