The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 22.5.6

22.5.6

Twenty-five years before this, when I myself was riding on a horse, with five other saddled horses and two eunuchs, we went inside it. Whenever I had chanced to mention this people were surprised. This time I again ordered some of the men to go inside, and what I had in my mind came to pass in the same manner. It has been noted in the Akbar-nama that my father took thirty-four people inside and made them stand close to each other. On this day it was represented to me that Prithi-chand, s. Ray Manohar, who was one of the auxiliaries of the army against Kangra, had sacrificed his life in a useless (bī-sarfa) battle with the enemy.
