Note 38 — The Sixteenth New Year’s Feast after the Auspicious Accession

Text and MSS. have mādar-i-ūrā, “her mother”(?) Perhaps we should read mā ūrā, “we (esteemed) her not less than our own mother.” Or it may be that the “her” means Nūr Jahān, and that Jahāngīr means he esteemed his mother-in-law as much as his own mother. ↑
