The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 29.4.5

29.4.5

A powerful tiger appeared out of the wood. I fired at him from the elephant, and the tiger in great fury rose and came on the elephant’s back, and I had not time to put down my gun and seize my sword. Inverting the gun, I knelt, and with both hands struck him with the stock over the head and face so that he fell on to the ground and died. One of the strange things that happened was that one day I was on an elephant, and was hunting wolves in Aligarh in the Nuh forest. A wolf appeared, and I struck it with a bullet on its face (mana) near the lobe of the ear. The bullet penetrated for about a span. From that bullet it fell and gave up its life. It has often happened in my presence that powerful (jawānān) men, good shots with the bow, have shot twenty or thirty arrows at them, and not killed. As it is not right to write about oneself, I must restrain the tongue of my pen from saying more. On the 29th of the month I presented a string of pearls to Jagat Singh, s. Rana Karan. At this time it was reported to me that Sultan Husain, Zamindar of Pakli, had died. I gave his mansab and jagir to Shadman, his eldest son. On the 7th of the month of Amurdad Ibrahim Husain, a servant of my fortunate son Shah Parwiz, came from the victorious army, and brought news of the victory of the chiefs of the everlasting State. The report of my son laid before me the particulars of the fight, and the exertions of the brave and distinguished men in it.
