Mírza Âzíz Kokaltásh Twelfth Viceroy, 1609–1611.In a.d. 1609 the Khán-i-Ázam Mírza Âzíz Kokaltásh was for the fourth time appointed viceroy of Gujarát. He was allowed to remain at court and send his son Jehángír Kúli Khán as his deputy with Mohandás Diván and Masûd Beg Hamadáni.22 This was the beginning of government by deputy, a custom which in later times was so injurious to imperial interests.
