After Khusrau's birth I gave her the title of Shah Begam. When she could not endure the bad conduct of her son and brother towards me she became disgusted with life and died, thereby escaping the present grief and sorrow. In consequence of her death, from the attachment I had for her, I passed some days without any kind of pleasure in life or existence, and for four days, which amount to 32 watches, I took nothing in the shape of food or drink. When this tale was told to my revered father, a letter of condolence of excessive kindness and affection reached this devoted disciple, and he sent me a robe of honour and the auspicious turban tied just as he had taken it off his head. This favour threw water on the flame of my grief and afforded complete quiet and repose to my unquietude and disturbance. My intention in relating these circumstances is to point out that no evil fortune is greater than when a son, through the impropriety of his conduct and his unapproved methods of behaviour, causes the death of his mother and becomes contumacious and rebellious to his father, without cause or reason, but simply through his own imaginations and futile ideas, and chooses to avoid the blessing of waiting upon him. - [Previous: 5.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.5.1.7) - [Next: 5.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.5.2.2) - [Up: 5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.5.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.5.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.tuzuk-i-jahangiri~en-rogers-beveridge.5.2.1) · Pramāṇa
