Faríd Khán, annoyed with his father, went to Jamál Khán at Jaunpúr. When Mián Hasan discovered that Faríd had gone there, he wrote to Jamál Khán thus : "Faríd Khán, being annoyed with me, has gone to you without sufficient cause. I trust in your kindness to appease him, and send him back; but if refusing to listen to you, he will not return, I trust you will keep him with you, for I wish him to be instructed in religious and polite learning." Jamál Khán sent for Faríd, and advised him in every possible way to return to his father ; but he refused, and said, "If my father wants me back to instruct me in learning, there are in this city many learned men : I will study here." Jamál Khán made no further objection. Faríd employed himself in studying Arabic at Jaunpúr. He also studied thoroughly the Káfia, with the commentaries of Kází Shahábu-d dín, and the biographies of most of the kings of ancient times. He had got by heart the Sikandar-náma, the Gulistán, and Bostán, etc., and was also reading the works of the philosophers. Subsequently, whenever, during his reign, learned men came to ask him for a maintenance (madad-ma'ásh), he used to ask them about the Háshia-i Hindia, and he still retained his liking for books of history and the lives of ancient kings. - [Previous: 3.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.1) - [Next: 3.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.3) - [Up: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.2) · Pramāṇa
