Note 99 — The Twelfth New Year’s Feast after my auspicious accession.

Suwārī-i-k͟hūd u k͟hwus͟h-jalū-i-ū, “my own riding and his pleasant paces (?).” It does not seem likely that Jahāngīr would himself drive the elephant. The meaning here probably is that Jahāngīr trusted to his being on the elephant. K͟hwus͟h-jalū is used lower down about another elephant, and seems to refer to the elephant’s paces. See p. 214. ↑
