“Miyān Bhudh succeeded to the late Khawāṣ Khān and was confirmed in the dignity. He got together fine caligraphists and learned men, and employed them in writing books on every science. He brought books from Khurāsān and gave them to learned and good men. Writers were continually engaged in this work. He assembled the physicians of Hind and Khurāsān, and, collecting books upon the science of medicine, he had a selection made. The book so compiled received the name of *Ṭibbi-Sikandarī*, and there is no work of greater authority in India.” ³
