The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 6.3.11

6.3.11

A ruby which his brother Abu-l-qasim had bought for 40,000 rupees and sent him, he presented as an offering on obtaining the viziership. He petitioned that Khwaja Abu-l-hasan, who held the offices of bakhshi and the Qur, etc., might go with him. Jalalabad was transferred from Abu-l-qasim Namakin to 'Arab Khan. A white rock was present in the river-bed ; I ordered them to carve it in the form of an elephant and cut upon its breast this hemistich, which agrees with the date of the Hijra year: "The white stone elephant of Jahangir Padshah," that is, 1016.
