9

[Besides the Shah-Jahan-namas noticed at length, there are among the MSS. borrowed by Sir H. M. Elliot, several others bearing the same title. 1. "An abstract of the lengthy Shah-Jahan-nama" (the Badshah-nama) of 'Abdu-l Hamid Lahori. This was written in 1225 A.H. (A.D. 1810), by Muhammad Zahid. 2. A fragment of another and lengthy Shah-Jahan-nama, by Mirza Jalalu-d din Tabataba. 3. A short work by Bhagwan Das which gives brief notices of the ancestors of Shah Jahan, beginning with Adam. 4. A poem by Mirza Muhammad Jan Mashhadi. This is called Shah-Jahan-nama, but the title given to it by the author would rather appear to be Zafar-nama. 5. Another Shah-Jahan-nama in verse, by Mir Muhammad Yahya Kashi.]
