The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 29.6.1

29.6.1

On this day Sayyid Bahwa came from Gujarat, and waited on me. Nuru-d-din Quli brought in chains to the Court forty-one of the rebels, who had been taken prisoners at Ahmadabad. Sharza K. and Qabil Beg, who were ring-leaders of the seditious, I executed by throwing them under the feet of warlike (mast) elephants. On the 20th of the same month, corresponding with the 18th of the month of Zi-qa‘da, a daughter was given by the grace of God to my son Shahriyar by the granddaughter of I‘timadu-d-daula. I hope that her advent will be propitious and blessed to this State. On the 22nd of the month the feast of my solar weighment took place, and the 55th year of the age of this suppliant began auspiciously and happily. According to annual custom, I had myself weighed against gold and other valuables, and gave them to deserving people. Among these I gave Rs. 2,000 to Shaikh Ahmad of Sihrind. On the 1st of the Divine month of Mihr Mir Jumla was promoted to the mansab of 3,000 personal and 300 horse. Muqim, the Bakhshi of Gujarat, was given the title of Kifayat K. As the innocence of Sar-faraz K. was established to my satisfaction, I took him out of prison, and allowed him to pay his respects. At the request of my son Shahriyar, I went to his house. He had prepared a grand entertainment, and presented suitable offerings, and gave dresses of honour to most of the servants.
