Next day, under the guidance of Iskandar Mu'in, I shot a large nilgaw, and promoted him to the rank of 600 personal and 500 horse. On Friday, the 24th, Safdar Khan, who had come from the Subah of Behar, had the good fortune to perform his obeisance to me. He presented as offerings a hundred muhrs, a sword, and live female and one male elephant. The male elephant was accepted. On the same day Yadgar Khwaja of Samarkand came from Balkh and paid his respects. He made offerings of an album, some horses, and other presents, and was dignified with a robe of honour. On Wednesday, 6th Zi-1-hijja, Mu'izzu-1-mulk, who had been removed from the paymastership of the army against the rebel Rana, ill and miserable, waited on me. On the 14th of the said month, having pardoned all the faults of 'Abdu-r-Rahim Khar, I promoted him to the rank of yuzbdshl (centurion) and 20 horse, and ordered him to go to Kashmir, and in company with the bakhshi of that place hold a muster of the troops of Qilij Khan and all the jagirdars and Uymaks in the service or not, and to bring the list. Kishwar Khan, son of Qutbu-d-din Khan, came from the fort of Rohtas and had the good fortune to pay his respects to me.
