(of little value.)
v2.c32.s1.t3.2
12. Inayet Khan's *Shah Jahan-namah*, (Elliot, vii. 73.) Khuda Bakhsh has a fine copy of it.
v2.c32.s1.t3.3
13. *Tazkirat-us-Salatin-i-Chaghtaia*, (Elliot, viii. 17.) Khuda Bakhsh MS.
v2.c32.s1.t3.4
14. *Mirat-i-Alam* (Elliot, vii. 145), gives the accession of Aurangzib. An almost exact copy of the *Alamgirnamah*. The *Aina-i-Bakht*, of which two MSS. exist at Rampur, is probably the same work, or an eighteenth century recension of it.
v2.c32.s1.t3.5
15. *Lab-ut-Tawarikh-i-Hind*, by Brindaban-das, the son of Dara's *diwan* Bahara Mal, (A. S. B. MS. D. 265.) Too brief to be of any use. (Elliot, vii. 168.)
v2.c32.s1.t3.6
16. *Adab-i-Alamgiri*, Khuda Bakhsh MS. f. 213a—259b, gives a history of the 31st year of Shah Jahan's reign and of the War of Succession, avowedly abridged from the regular histories (*viz.* the *Aml-i-Salih* and the *Alamgirnamah*), but occasionally adds a line or two of information not to be found in the sources.
