9.2.3

I gave a special dress of honour also to Kishwar Khan, and presented Raja Kalyan with an Iraq horse, and similarly to the other Amirs there were given robes of honour or horses. Faridun Barlas, who held the rank of 1,500 personal and 1,300 horse, I promoted to 2,000 personal and 1,500 horse. On the night of Monday, the 1st Safar, through the carelessness of the servants, a great fire occurred in the house of Khwaja Abu-l-hasan, and before they became aware of it and the fire could be put out many of his properties were burnt. In order to afford consolation to the mind of the Khwaja and to make up for the loss he had sustained, I gave him 40,000 rupees. On Saif Khan Barha, who had been cherished and brought up by me, I bestowed a standard. I increased the rank of Mu'izzu-l-mulk, who had been appointed to the Diwanship of Kabul, from his original of 1,000 personal and 225 horse by 200 personal and 275 horse, and dismissed him. The next day I sent a phul-katara (dagger) studded with valuable jewels to Burhanpur to Khan Jahan.
