8.2.2

I sent to Parwiz a special horse, and to the Khankhanan and other Amirs and officers who were appointed to that Subah dresses of honour. After carrying out these matters I left the city for the purpose of hunting. One thousand rupees were given to Mir 'Ali Akbar. As the Rabi' Fasl (Spring season) had arrived, for fear any damage should happen to the cultivation of the ryots from the passage of the army, and notwithstanding that I had appointed a qurisawul (Erskine has Ivor, the Yasawal) (probably a kind of provost marshal) with the band of ahadis for the purpose of guarding the fields, I ordered certain men to see what damage had been done to the crops from stage to stage and pay compensation to the ryots. I gave 10,000 rupees to the daughter of the Khankhanan, the wife of Daniyal, 1,000 rupees to 'Abdu-r-Rahim Khar (i.e. ass) for expenses, and 1,000 to Qacha the Dakhani. On the 12th, Khanjar Khan, brother of 'Abdu-llah Khan, received the rank of 1,000 personal and 500 horse, original and extra, and Bahadur Khan, another brother, that of 600 personal and 300 horse. On this day two antelopes with horns and one doe were taken. On the 13th I bestowed on and sent to Khan Jahan a special horse. Having promoted Badru-z-zaman, son of Mirza Shahrukh, to the rank of 1,000 and 500 horse, I gave him 5,000 rupees for expenses, and he was sent off with Khan Jahan for service in the Deccan. On this day two male and three female antelope were killed.
