I presented him with a qaba (outer coat) of gold brocade with jewelled flowers and pearls round the flowers, a brocaded turban with strings of pearls, a gold woven sash with chains of pearls, one of my private elephants called Fath Gaj, with trappings, a special horse, a jewelled sword, and a jewelled khapwa, with a phūl katāra. In addition to the men first appointed to this duty under the leadership of Khan A'zam, I sent 12,000 more horse with my son, and honoured their leaders, each according to his condition, with special horses and elephants and robes of honour, and dismissed them. Fida'i Khan was nominated to the paymastership of this army. At the same time Safdar Khan was despatched to the government of Kashmir in place of Hashim Khan. He received a horse and robe of honour. On Wednesday, the 11th, Khwaja Abu-l-hasan was made general paymaster (bakhshi-kul), and received a dress of honour. I had ordered them to make a large caldron at Agra for the revered mausoleum of the Khwaja. On this day it was brought, and I ordered them to cook food for the poor in that pot, and collect together the poor of Ajmir to feed them whilst I was there. Five thousand people assembled, and all ate of this food to their fill. After the food I gave money to each of the dervishes with my own hand. At this time Islam Khan, governor of Bengal, was promoted to the mansab of 6,000 personal and horse, and a flag was given to Mukarram Khan, son of Mu'azzam Khan.
