The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 7.2.1

7.2.1

As I had determined to conquer the Rana, it occurred to me that I should send Mahabat Khan. I appointed 12,000 fully armed cavalry under able officers to go with him, and in addition 500 ahadis, 2,000 musketeers on foot, with artillery made up of 70 to 80 guns mounted on elephants and camels ; 60 elephants were appointed to this duty. Two million rupees of treasure were ordered to be sent with this army. On the 16th of the said month Mir Khalilu-llah, grandson of Mir Ni'matu-llah Yazdi, the whole of whose circumstances and family history has already been written, died of diarrhœa. In his appearance the traces of sincerity and dervishhood were manifest. If he had lived and passed a long time in my service he would have risen to high rank. The bakhshi of Burhanpur had sent some mangoes, one of which I ordered to be weighed;- it came to 52½ tolas. On Wednesday, the 18th, in the house of Maryam-zamani, the feast of the lunar weighing of my 40th year was held. I ordered the money used in weighing to be divided amongst women and needy persons. On Thursday, the 4th Rabi'u-l-akhir, Tahir Beg, the bakhshi of the Ahadis, was given the title of Mukhlis Khan, and Mulla-i-Taqiyya Shustari, who was adorned with excellencies and perfections, and was well acquainted with the science of history and genealogy, that of Mu'arrikh Khan. On the 10th of the same month, having given Barkhurdar, the brother of 'Abdu-llah Khan, the title of Bahadur Khan, I dignified him among his fellows.
