When he (‘Abbas) takes such steps before the return of the ambassador, to whom will mankind ascribe the merit of keeping compacts and of preserving the capital of humanity and liberality ! May God preserve you at all times !” After I had given leave to the ambassadors, I devoted all my energy to urging on the Qandahar force, and presented my son Khan Jahan, who had been sent for for certain matters, with an elephant, a special horse, a jewelled sword and dagger, and a dress of honour. I sent him on as an advance guard, and directed him to remain in Multan until the arrival of Prince Shahriyar with the victorious army. Baqir K., who was faujdar of Multan, was summoned to Court, and I appointed ‘Ali-quli Beg Darman to assist him (Khan Jahan), and raised him to the mansab of 1,500. In the same manner, having raised M. Rustam to the mansab of 5,000, I appointed him to the duty of assisting that son with the (Qandahar) army. Lashkar K. came from the Deccan, and waited on me, and was also attached to that army. Allah-dad K. Afghan, M. ‘Isa Tarkhan, Mukarram K., Ikram K., and other Amirs, who had come from the Deccan and from their fiefs, after being presented with horses and dresses of honour, were sent with Khan Jahan. ‘Umdatu-s-saltana Asaf K. was sent to Agra to bring to Court the whole of the treasure in muhrs and rupees which had accumulated from the beginning of the reign of my father. Asalat K., s. Khan Jahan, was promoted to the mansab of 2,000 and 1,000 horse.
