The said general's name was Said can Bahadar (Sa'id Khan Bahadur); he had neither sons nor daughters. The king was desirous that he should have [146] issue. He therefore ordered his physician to refer to a receipt in the 'Chronicles of Taimur-i-lang,' which was composed of eleven ingredients. I have tested it several times, and always with good results. Sa'id Khan Bahadur swallowed the medicine, and at the end of four years he had a number of sons by various wives, concubines, and slave-girls that he possessed. After this interval Shahjahan asked him how many sons he had, to which he replied that next day he would give him an answer. He then found that he had sixty male children, without counting the female. He expressed his gratitude for the gift made to him by his majesty, adding that all of those children were ready to be offered up a sacrifice to the royal orders. The king gave them all the epithet of Canazat (Khdnahzdd) — that is to say, ' Born in the House,' by which they were mostly known, and all drew good pay.
