Note 73 — The Sixteenth New Year’s Feast after the Auspicious Accession

On the first of the Divine month of Isfandārmuẕ I gave the establishment and everything belonging to the government and Amirship of Iʿtimādu-d-daula to Nūr Jahān Begam, and ordered that her drums and orchestra should be sounded after those of the king. On the 4th of the same month I pitched in the neighbourhood of the pargana of Kas͟hhūna.73 On this day K͟hwāja Abū-l-Ḥasan was raised to the lofty dignity of supreme Diwan. I conferred dresses of honour on 32 individuals of the Deccan Amirs. Abū Saʿīd, grandson of Iʿtimādu-d-daula, was raised to the mansab of 1,000 personal and 500 horse. At this time a report came from K͟hurram that K͟husrau, on the 8th74 (20th) of the month, had died of the disease of colic pains (qūlanj), and gone to the mercy of God.
