All that was in his store (bisāt) in the way of money and goods, of live stock or dead, he offered for me to tread upon. I gave them all back, and said: “What do worldly goods appear worth to the eye of our magnanimity? We buy the jewel of loyalty at a high figure. Such an event arising out of his devotion should be reckoned as the rising of his good star, in that a king like me with the people of his harem should remain in his house in comfort and at ease for a night and a day. It would be a cause of honour to him among his contemporaries and comrades.” On Tuesday, the 5th, having traversed 2 koss, I alighted at the village of Kaha’i. I presented the dress (sar u pay) I had on to Mu‘tamid K., and an order was given assigning him the mansab of 1,500 personal and 1,500 horse. From this stage we entered within the boundary of Kashmir. In the same kotal of Bhulbas, Ya‘qub, s. Yusuf K. Kashmiri, fought with the victorious army of my father, of which Raja Bhagwan Das, father of Raja Man Singh, was the leader. On this day, the news came that Suhrab K., s. Rustam Mirza, had been drowned in the Jhelam. The details are as follows: He, according to orders, was coming up one stage in the rear, and on the road it came into his mind that he would have a bathe in the river, though warm water was ready.
