Note 38 — PART I.—DESCRIPTION.
Reading edition
Herbert’s Khán Jehan is doubtless Mehmúd’s father the minister Malik Mughís, Khán Jehán Aâzam Humáyún. It cannot be Khán Jehán Pir Muhammad, Akbar’s general, who after only a few months’ residence was slain in Mándu in a.d. 1561; nor can it be Jehángír’s great Afghán general, Khán Jehán Lodi (a.d. 1600–1630), as he was not in Mándu until a.d. 1628, that is more than a year after Herbert left India. Compare Herbert’s Travels, 107–118; Elliot, VI. 249–323, VII. 7, 8, and 21; and Blochman’s Áin-i-Akbari, 503–506. ↑
