15.4.7
On the 5th of the month of Azar a jewelled dagger was given to Darab Khan, and by the hand of Raja Sarang Deo dresses of honour were bestowed on the Amirs of the Deccan. As some (evil) things had been heard about Safdar Khan, governor of Kashmir, I dismissed him from the government, and favouring Ahmad Beg Khan on account of his previous services, I promoted him to be Subadar of Kashmir, and confirmed his mansab of 2,500 personal and 1,500 horse, honoured him with a jewelled waist-dagger and a dress of honour, and gave him leave. By the hand of Ihtimam Khan I sent winter dresses of honour to Qasim Khan, governor of Bengal, and the Amirs that were attached to that province. On the 15th of the month there was laid before me the offering of Maka'i, son of Iftikhar Khan, consisting of an elephant, got horses, and pieces of cloth. He was honoured with the title of Muruwwat Khan. At the request of I'timadu-d-daula, I had sent for Dayanat Khan, who was in the fort of Gwalior, and he had the good fortune to pay his respects; his property, which had been confiscated, was restored to him.
