¹⁰⁶ Sir Wolseley Haig gives her name as Jalila (C.H.I., III, 231, 255) but that is a misreading or Halila which Ferishta calls her (Ferishta, II, 310). Halila means a lawful wife and instances of its use are many. (See Hodivala, 494). Dorn, 52 speaks of her as the Sultan's "First consort, Malka Jehan."
