The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 76: Seventeenth Year of the Reign.

76

[The Nau-roz of the seventeenth year of my reign fell on — Jumada-l awwal, 1031 (March, 1622).
A despatch arrived from the son of Khan Jahan, reporting that Shah ’Abbas, King of Persia, had laid siege to the fort of Kandahar with the forces of ’Irak and Khurasan. I gave orders for calling troops from Kashmir, and Khwaja Abu-l Hasan Diwan and Sadik Khan Bakhshi were sent on in advance of me to Lahore, to organize the forces as the princes brought them up from the Dakhin, Gujarat, Bengal, and Bihar, and as the nobles came from their jagirs and assembled, and then to send them on in succession to the son of Khan Jahan at Multan. Artillery, mortars, elephants, treasure, arms, and equipments were also to be sent on thither... For such an army 100,000 bullocks or more would be needed. * *
Zainu-l ’Abidin, whom I had sent to summon Khurram, returned and reported that the Prince would come after he had passed the rainy season in the fort of Mandu. When I read and understood the contents of the Prince’s letter, I was not at all pleased, or rather I was displeased. I consequently wrote a farman to the effect, that as it was his intention to wait till after the rains, he was to send me the great amirs and officers I had placed under his command, especially the Saiyids of Barha and Bokhara, the Shaikhzadas, the Afghans, and Rajputs.]
