29.2.1
On the 19th the Feast of the culmination was held, and many of the servants of the State were raised in mansab, and had suitable favours conferred on them. Mir ‘Azudu-d-daulah, having come from Agra, waited on me. He brought a vocabulary of words that he had prepared. In truth he had taken much pains, and collected together all the words from the writings of ancient poets. There is no book like this in the science. Raja Jay Singh was raised to the mansab of 3,000 with 1,400 horse, and a special elephant was presented to my son Shahriyar. The post of ‘Arz-muharrir (examiner of petitions) was conferred on Musawi K. Amanu-llah, s. Mahabat K., was given the title of Khan-zad Khan, was favoured with a mansab of 4,000 personal and horse, and was honoured with a flag and drums. On the 1st of the Divine month of Urdibihisht I pitched on the bank of the lake at Fathpur. I‘tibar K. came from Agra and waited on me, and was graciously received. Muzaffar K., Mukarram K., and his brother also came from Agra, and had the good fortune to wait on me. As I‘tibar K. had done approved service in the charge of the Agra fort he was dignified with the title of Mumtaz K., and I gave him the mansab of 6,000 personal and 5,000 horse, and having bestowed on him a dress of honour, a jewelled sword, a horse, and a special elephant, I sent him back to his duty. Sayyid Bahwa was promoted to the mansab of 2,000 and 1,500 horse, Mukarram K.
