9.2.1
On Friday, the 21st, Kishwar Khan, who held the rank of 1,500, was promoted to 2,000 personal and horse, and, having been presented with an Iraq horse out of my private stable, a robe of honour and a private elephant, named Bakht-jit, and the Faujdarship of the country of Uch, was dismissed with a view to the punishment of the rebels of that region. Bayazid Mankali, having been honoured with a robe and a horse, was sent off together with his brothers in the company of Kishwar Khan. An elephant from my private stud, by name 'Alam-guman, was entrusted to Habibu-llah for Raja Man Singh and sent. A special horse was sent to Bengal for Kesho Das Maru, and a female elephant was now given to 'Arab Khan, the jagirdar of Jalalabad. At this time Iftikhar Khan had sent an offering of a rare elephant from Bengal. As I approved of it, it was entered among my private elephants. I raised the rank of Ahmad Beg Khan, who had been nominated to the command of the army of Bangash on account of his good service and that of his sons, from his original rank of 2,000 personal and 1,500 horse by 500 more personal. I sent a gold throne of jewelled work for Parwiz, and a sarpīch, which was of rubies and pearls, and made at a cost of 2,000 rupees, was sent for Khan Jahan by the hand of Habīb, son of Sarbarah Khan, to Burhanpur.
