13.2.2
It occurs to me that as it is a raging creature, and milk appears in the breasts of mothers by reason of the affection they have for their young, as milk comes into their breasts in connection with their young ones drinking and sucking at the time of their taking (the milk), their (the mothers') rage increases and the milk in their breasts is dried up. At the end of Urdibihisht, Khwaja Qasim, brother of Khwaja 'Abdu-l-'Aziz, who is of the Naqshbandi Khwajas, came from Mawara'a-n-nahr and waited on me. After a few days 12,000 rupees were given to him as a present. As Khwaja Jahan had made a melon-bed in the neighbourhood of the city, when two watches of day had passed on Thursday, the 10th Khurdad, I got into a boat and went to inspect the melon-bed, and took the ladies with me. We reached there when two or three gharis of day were left, and passed the evening in walking among the beds. A wonderfully sharp wind and whirlwind sprang up, so that the tents and screens fell down. I got into the boat and passed the night in it. I also passed part of the Friday in walking about the melon-bed, and returned to the city. Afzal Khan, who for a long time had been afflicted with boils and other sores, died on the 10th Khurdad. I transferred the jagir and hereditary land of Raja Jagman, who had failed in his service in the Deccan, to Mahabat Khan.
