History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v2.c32.s1.t1.6

6. *Masir-i-Alamgiri* by Muhammad Saqi Mustaid Khan, (Bibliotheca Indica series), written after Aurangzib's death, but on the basis of the State papers. (Elliot, vii. 181.) It is very condensed, giving the history of 51 years in 541 pages, while a regular Court chronicle like the *Alamgirnamah* takes 1107 pages in treating of 10 years only. I suspect that some of the leaves of the MS. from which this edition has been printed had got out of their proper places, and certain incidents of one year have been recorded under another year. But I have not met with any good MS. of the work. Quoted as *M.A.*
