22.5.4

As excellent service had been done by Dilawar K. Kakar, I promoted him to the mansab of 4,000 personal and 3,000 horse, and also conferred mansabs on his sons. Shaikh Farid, s. Qutbu-d-din K. was raised to the mansab of 1,000 personal and 400 horse. The mansab of Sar-barah K. was ordered to be 700 personal and 250 horse, and I promoted Nuru-llah Kurkiraq (in charge of furriery?) to that of 600 personal and 100 horse, bestowing on him the title of Ta’rif K. The offerings of Thursday, the 21st, were handed over as a reward to Qiyam K., the chief huntsman. As Allah-dad Afghan, s. the Tariki, had repented of his evil deeds and come to Court at the request of I‘timadu-d-daula I pardoned his offences; the signs of disgrace and shame were evident on his forehead and, according to the previous arrangement, I bestowed on him the mansab of 2,500 and 200 horse. Mirak Jalayir, one of the auxiliaries of Bengal, was promoted to the mansab of 1,000 personal and 400 horse. As it was reported that the jughasi (i.e., black) tulips were in good bloom on the roof of the Jami‘ mosque, on Saturday, the 23rd, I went to see them. In truth, one side of that flower-garden was very beautiful.
