When Dārā Shukoh was sent against Qandahār in Shāhjahān’s reign, he cast two great guns at Lāhor, which threw a ball of 1 man 5 sirs (about 90 lbs. English). Their names were *Fath Mubārik* (Blessed Victory) and *Kishwar Kushāe* (World Overcomer). He had with him two other heavy guns, the *Qila‘h-kushāe* (Fort Overcomer) from Dihlī and *Maryam* (Mary?) from Shāl (Raverty, “Notes on Afghanistan”, 22, relying on the *Latāif-ul-Akhbār* of Rashīd Khān).
