c12.s5.5
The Mughal Emperor, as we have seen, claimed to be *Jagat-guru* or world’s Supreme Religious Head. But this Pope was married, and it would have been inconsistent if his principal wife did not partake of his spiritual attributes. Thus we find that Jahangir’s wife, a Jodhpur princess and the mother of Shah Jahan, was styled the *Jagat Gosaini*, or female Pope of the World! (*Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri*, 5.)
