I strictly enjoined him again that he should remove all the old trees that had no freshness in them, and put in fresh plants, to clean up the 'irqbandi (it is 'iraq-bandi in the text. The word does not occur in the B.M. MS. but is in the I.O. MS.), and repair the old buildings, and erect other buildings in the shape of baths, etc., in fitting places. On this date Dust Beg, who was one of the auxiliaries of 'Abdu-llah K., was promoted to the mansab of 700 personal and 50 horse, Muzaffar Husain, s. Wazir K., to that of 600 personal and 300 horse. Shaikh Qasim was sent to duty in the Deccan. On Thursday, the 19th, at the request of my auspicious son Shah-Jahan, I went to his house. On account of the birth of the son that God Almighty had bestowed on him a grand entertainment was given, and he presented offerings. Among these was a short, broad sword (shamshir-i-nimcha), which was of Venetian workmanship. The hilt and fastenings were made of a sapphire cut in Europe: in short, it had been beautifully made. Another offering was an elephant which the Raja of Baglana had presented to my son in Burhanpur. As that elephant was handsome and well-behaved, it was ordered to be included among the private elephants. The value of the offerings that were accepted was Rs. 130,000, and he offered about Rs. 4,000 to his mothers and benefactors.
