The Memoirs of Jahāngīr (Jahāngīrnāma) 8.1.9

8.1.9

Mulla Hayati, by whom I had sent a message to the Khankhanan, with a verbal message containing (expressions of) all kinds of condescension and affection, came and brought before me a ruby and two pearls of the value of about 20,000 rupees, which the Khankhanan had sent by him. Mir Jamalu-d-din Husain, who was in Burhanpur and whom I had sent for, came and waited on me. I presented Shaja'at Khan Dakhani with 2,000 rupees. On the 6th of the aforesaid month, before Parwiz arrived at Burhanpur, a petition came from the Khankhanan and the Amirs that the Dakhanis had assembled together and were making disturbances. When I discovered that, notwithstanding the nomination of Parwiz and the army that had proceeded with him and been appointed to his service, they were still in need of support and assistance, it occurred to me that I should go myself, and by Allah's favour satisfy myself with regard to that affair. In the meanwhile a petition came also from Asaf Khan that my coming there would be for the advantage of the daily-increasing State. A petition from 'Adil Khan, from Bijapur, also came, that if one of the trusted ones of the Court could be appointed there to whom he could tell his desires and claims, so that the envoy might convey them to me, he hoped that it might become the means of affording profit to these slaves (i.e. himself). On this account I consulted with the Amirs and loyal men, and told them to represent whatever entered into anyone's mind.
