The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 29.6.2

29.6.2

At this time a report came from my fortunate son Shah Parwiz that Bi-daulat had crossed the river of Burhanpur (the Tapti), and was wandering in the desert of error. The particulars are that when he crossed the Narbadda and drew all the boats to that side, and fortified the banks of the river and the ferries with cannon and muskets, he left Bairam Beg on the bank with a large number of the rebels, and withdrew towards Asir and Burhanpur. The Khan-khanan and Darab he took with him under surveillance. And now, for the sake of enlivening my narrative, a few words must be said about Asir. The said fort, in its great height and strength, is not in want of my praise. Before Bi-daulat went to the Deccan it was in the charge of Khwaja Nasru-llah, s. Khwaja Fathu-llah, who was one of the household slaves and ancient servants. Afterwards, at the request of Bi-daulat, it was handed over to Mir Husamu-d-din, s. Mir Jamalu-d-din Husain.
