Khurram is a Persian word, meaning ‘pleased, glad’; the Author confuses it with Skt. Kūrma, ‘a tortoise.’ The mother of Khurram, Balmati or Jagat Gosāīn, was daughter of Udai Singh of Mārwār; see Tuzuk, 19; Beale, s.v. Shāh Jahān.\] - [Previous: v2.c28.220](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.220) - [Next: v2.c28.222](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.222) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.221](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.221) · Pramāṇa
