The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 8.1.5

8.1.5

On Friday, the 22nd, I gave an order that as bang and buza (rice spirit) were injurious, they should not be sold in the bazars, and that gambling should be abolished, and on this subject I issued stringent orders. On the 25th they brought a tiger from my private menagerie to fight with a bull. Many people gathered together to see the show, and a band of Jogis (religious mendicants) with them. One of the Jogis was naked, and the tiger, by way of sport, and not with the idea of rage, turned towards him. It threw him on the ground and began to behave to him as it would to its own female. The next day and on several occasions the same thing took place. As no such thing had ever been seen before and was exceedingly strange, this has been recorded. On the 2nd of the month of Ramazan, at the request of Islam Khan, Ghiyas Khan was promoted to the rank of 1,500 personal and 800 horse. Faridun Khan Barlas was promoted to the rank of 2,500 with 2,000 horse. One thousand tolcha of gold and silver and 1,000 rupees were given in alms on the day of the procession of the sun into the constellation of the Scorpion, which, according to the general acceptation of the Hindoos, is called the Sankrant. On the 10th of that month an elephant was presented to Shah Beg Yuz (? the panther-keeper), and Salamu-llah, the Arab, who is a distinguished young man and a relative (son-in-law ?) of Mubarak, the ruler of Darful.
