At the same time I appointed Qazi Nuru-d-din to the Sadarat of the province of Malwah and Ujjain. The son of Mirza Shadman Hazara and grandson of Qaracha Khan, who was one of the influential Amirs of Humayun, waited on me. Qaracha Khan had married a woman from the Hazara tribe, and this son had been born by her. On Saturday, the 19th, Rana Shankar, son of Rana Uday Singh, was promoted to the rank of 2,500 personal and 1,000 horse. An order was given for the rank of 1,000 personal and 600 horse for Ray Manohar. The Shinwari Afghans brought a mountain ram the two horns of which had become one and had become like a rang's horns. The same Afghans killed and brought a markhur (Erskine translates this ' a serpent - eating goat'), the like of which I had never seen or imagined. I ordered my artists to paint him. He weighed four Hindustani maunds ; the length of his horns was 1½ gaz. On Sunday, the 27th, I gave the rank of 1,500 personal and 1,000 horse to Shaja'at Khan, and the liawlll (district surrounding) of Gwalior was placed in the jagir of I'tibar Khan. I appointed Qazi 'Izzatu-llah with his brothers to the Bangash duty. At the end of the same day a petition came to me from Islam Khan from Agra, together with a letter which Jahangir Qull Khan had written to him from Bihar.
