He produced as an offering four elephants. As I had a great desire to see my farzand (son) Khan Jahan (Lodi), and for the purpose of enquiring into important matters connected with the Deccan, it was necessary for him to come at once, I sent for him. On Tuesday, the 8th of the same month, he waited on me, and presented as an offering 1,000 muhrs, 1,000 rupees, 4 rubies, 20 pearls, 1 emerald, and a jewelled phul katara, the total value being 50,000 rupees. On the night of Sunday, as it was the anniversary of the great Khwaja (Mu'inu-d-din), I went to his revered mausoleum, and remained there till midnight. The attendants and Sufis exhibited ecstatic states, and I gave the fakirs and attendants money with my own hand; altogether there were expended 6,000 rupees in cash, 100 saub-kurta (a robe down to the ankles), 70 rosaries of pearls, coral and amber, etc. Maha Singh, grandson of Raja Man Singh, was honoured with the title of Raja, and a standard and drums given him. On the 16th an Iraq horse out of my private stable and another horse were presented to Mahabat Khan. On the 19th an elephant was given to Khan A'zam. On the 20th, 200 horse were added to the mansab of Kesho (Das) Maru, which was 2,000 personal and 1,000 horse, and he was dignified with a dress of honour. An increase of 200 personal and horse was made to the mansab of Khwaja 'Aqil, which was 1,200 personal and 600 horse.
