Note 1 — INDEX (continued 2)

Compare Farishtah, II. 355–356. After his death Muhammad was known as Khudáigán-i-Shahíd, Our Lord the Martyr, according to the custom of the Sultáns of Dehli, all of whom had three names, their family name, their throne name, and their after-death name whose letters contain the date of the monarch’s decease. Thus the emperor Akbar’s after-death title is Ársh Áshiáni, The Holder of the Heavenly Throne; the emperor Jehángír’s is Jannat Makáni, The Dweller in Heaven; the emperor Sháh Jehán’s is Firdaus Makáni, He Whose Home is Paradise; and the emperor Aurangzíb’s is Khuld Makáni, The Occupier of the Eternal Residence. Similarly the after-death title of Muzaffar Sháh, Tátár Khán’s father, is Khûdáigán-i-Kabir, The Great Lord. ↑
