The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 3.3.4

3.3.4

Parwiz was born of Sahib-Jamal (Mistress of Beauty), the cousin of Zain Khan Koka, who, in point of affinity, was on the same footing as Mirza 'Aziz Koka, in the 34th year of my father's reign, in the city of Kabul, two years and two months after the birth of Khusrau. After several other children had been born to me and had been received into God's mercy, a daughter was born of Karamsi, who belonged to the Rathor clan, and the child received the name of Bihar Banu Begam. To Jagat Gosa'in, daughter of the Mota Raja (the fat raja), was born Sultan Khurram, in the 36th year of my father's reign, corresponding to a.h. 999, in the city of Lahore. His advent made the world joyous (khurram), and gradually, as his years increased, so did his excellencies, and he was more attentive to my father than all (my) other children, who was exceedingly pleased with and grateful for his services, and always recommended him to me and frequently told me there was no comparison between him and my other children. He recognised him as his real child. After that (Khurram's birth) some other children were born who died in infancy, and then within one month two sons were borne by concubines. One of these I called Jahandar and the other Shahryar.
