21.2.5
On this day Sayyid Bayazid Bukhari, faujdar of Bhakkar, sent as an offering a rang (ibex), which he had brought from the hills when it was small and brought up in his house. It pleased me greatly. Of mar-khur and hill sheep I have seen many brought up in the house, but I never saw a rang (tame). I ordered them to keep it with the Barbary goats, in order that they might pair and produce young ones. Without doubt, it is not allied to the mar-khur or the quchqar. Sayyid Bayazid was raised to the mansab of 1,000 personal and 700 horse. On Monday, the 23rd, having honoured Muqim K. with a robe of honour, a horse, an elephant, and jewelled Miafwa, I appointed him to Bihar. On Sunday, the 29th, a feast was prepared for my auspicious son Shah-Jahan on the bank of the Biya (Beas), and on the same day Raja Bikramajit, who was employed in the siege of Kangra, came to Court, by order, to represent certain requirements, and had the good fortune to kiss the threshold. On Monday, the 30th, my son Shah-Jahan took ten days’ leave, and hastened to Lahore in order to see the palace buildings lately erected. Raja Bikramajit was presented with a special dagger, a robe of honour, and a horse, and returned to duty on the siege of Kangra. On Wednesday, the 2nd of the Divine month of Bahman, the garden of Kalanaur was honoured by my halting there. At this place my father had ascended the throne.
