Muntakhabu-l Lubáb, of Kháfí Khán (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 50 - **Language:** English ### [50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.50) \[vol. ii. p. 186.\] It now became known that the Sahib Kiran-i sani (Shah Jahan) was very ill, and that his life was drawing to a close. Prince Muhammad Mu'azzam was immediately sent off in haste to visit him, but he received the intelligence of his (grandfather's) death while on his way. He died at the end of Rajab 1076 A.H. (22nd Jan. 1666), in the eighth year of the reign of Aurangzeb, who grieved much over his death. Shah Jahan reigned thirty-one years, and he was secluded and under restraint nearly eight years. \[vol. ii. p. 188.\] Among the events of this year was the subjugation of Sangram-nagar and Chatgam near Arracan. The zamindars of these places had shaken off their allegiance; but Ummed Khan, eldest son of Shayista Khan, Amiru-l umara, defeated them. \* \* The name of Sangram-nagar was changed to 'Alamgir-nagar, and that of Chatgam to Islamabad. - [Previous: 49.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.49.5) - [Next: 51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.51) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.50) · Pramāṇa
