3.3.6

The noble who had the general direction of affairs in the reign of Sikandar bestowed districts and charitable gifts upon the learned and religious to an extent that had never been known in former reigns, notwithstanding the great extent of territory and the vast treasures. In his reign, business was carried on in a peaceful, honest, straightforward way. A new sort of life obtained, for people high and low were polite, and self-respect, integrity, and devotion to religion prevailed, like as had never been the case in former reigns. The study of the belles lettres was not neglected, and a general respect was paid to integrity and piety. Factory establishments were so encouraged that all the young nobles and soldiers were engaged in useful works (kasb). Under the orders of Sultan Sikandar, the Argar-mahadah on the science of medicine and the treatment of disease was translated, and received the name of Tibb-i Sikandari. The book is the foundation of the practice of the physicians of Hind, and was thus brought into general use. Sultan Sikandar had six sons: the eldest, Ibrahim Khan, succeeded his father, with the title of Sultan Ibrahim, in the Empire of Dehli; the second, Jalal Khan, became King of Jaunpur, and was styled Sultan Jalalu-d din; the third, Isma'il Khan; the fourth, Husain Khan; the fifth, Mahmud Khan; the sixth, 'Azam Humayun.
