Although this is also a good elephant, and has been placed in my private stud, it is not to be compared with the first elephant (he sent), which is one of the wonders of the age, and is worth 20,000 rupees. On the 26th, 200 personal were added to the mansab of Badi'u-z-zaman, son of Mirza Shahrukh; it was 700 personal and 500 horse. On the same day Khwaja Zainu-d-din, who is of the Naqshbandi Khwajas, came from Mawaraa-n-nahr and waited on me, bringing as an offering eighteen horses. Qizilbash Khan, who was one of the auxiliaries of the province of Gujarat, had come to Court without the leave of the governor. I ordered that an ahadi should put him into confinement, and that he be sent back to the governor of Gujarat, so that others might not desire to do the same. The mansab of Mubarak Khan Sazawal I raised 500 personal, so that it should be 1,500 personal and 700 horse. On the 29th I gave Khan A'zam 100,000 rupees, and ordered that the parganahs of Dasna and Kasna, which are equivalent to 5,000 personal, should be made his jagir. At the end of the same month I gave leave to Jahangir Quli Khan, with his brothers and other relatives, to go to Allahabad, which had been appropriated to them as jagir. At this meeting twenty horse, a qaba (parm narm) of Cashmere cloth, twelve deer, and ten Arabian dogs were given to Karan.
