The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 28.1

28.1

As the whole of my world-opening mind was taken up with the preparation of the Qandahar army, and the remedy for that business, the unpleasant news that reached me of a change in the condition of Khurram, and his want of moderation, became a cause for aversion and dissension. I accordingly sent Musawi K., who is one of the sincere servants who knows my temperament, to that wretch (bi-daulat) to lay before him the threatening messages and my wishes, and to give admonitions that might sharpen his intelligence, so that by the guidance of good fortune he might awake from the dream of carelessness and pride, and that he (Musawi) having gained a (true) knowledge of his futile ideas and aims might hasten to my presence, and carry out whatever appeared to be necessary. On the 1st of the Divine month of Bahman the feast of my lunar weighing took place. At this auspicious ceremony Mahabat K., having come from Kabul, paid his respects, and was the recipient of special favours. I appointed Ya‘qub K. Badakhshi to Kabul, exalting him with the gift of drums. About this time report came from I‘tibar K. from Agra that Khurram, with the army of adversity, had left Mandu and started in that direction. He had evidently heard the news that the treasure had been sent for, and fire had fallen into his mind, and having let fall from his hand the reins of self-control, had started (with the idea) that on the road he might lay hold of the treasure.
