The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 4.4

4.4

On the last day of the feast of the New Year, many servants of the State were honoured with favours and increase of rank. Pishrau Khan was an old retainer and had come from Persia (wilayat) with Humayun; indeed, he was one of the men whom Shah Tahmasp had sent with Humayun. His name was Mihtar Sa'adat. As under my father he was superintendent (darogha) and head (mihtar) of the farrash-khana (store department), and had no equal in this service, he had given him the title of Pishrau Khan (the active Khan). Though he was a subordinate (?) servant and had an artificer's disposition (qalaqchi mashrab), I looked to his claims of service and gave him the rank of 2,000.
