20.2.6

Mahabat K. was distinguished with the gift of a jewelled dagger. I gave elephants to Shaikh Ahmad Hansi, Shaikh ‘Abdu-l-Latif Sambhali, the eunuch Firasat K., and Ray Kunwar Chand Mustaufi (auditor). Muhammad Shafi‘ Bakhshi of the Panjab, was raised to the mansab of 500 personal and 300 horse. The mansab of 500 personal and 150 horse was conferred on Munis, s. Mihtar K. He (Munis) had charge of the fort of Kalinjar. On this day arrived the news of the death of Shah-nawaz K. s. the Commander-in-Chief Khan Khanan. It was the cause of distress of mind to me. At the time when that Ataliq (Khan Khanan) took leave from waiting on me, it had been strictly impressed upon him that, as it had been repeatedly brought to my ear that Shah-nawaz K. had been maddened with wine and drank immoderately, if there was truth in this it was a pity that he should destroy himself at his age. It was necessary that he should not leave him to his own way, but look after his case properly. If he could not leave his charge himself, he should write a clear report, so that, having summoned him into my presence, I might give the best order practicable under the circumstances. When he arrived at Burhanpur, having found Shah-nawaz Khan very weak and low, he tried to make some remedy for him. After some days’ confinement to bed (literally, lord of the carpet) he fell on the couch of powerlessness.
