Note 63 — The Thirteenth New Year’s Feast

K͟hūd bi-inʿām iltimās namūd. “As a favour to himself.” It is not likely that S͟hāh Jahān would ask for the pargana for Bikramājīt if it was already his own. I presume the meaning is that S͟hāh Jahān asked that this pargana should be given to Bikramājīt as a favour to himself. But perhaps the meaning is “which he (S͟hāh Jahān) had asked for, for himself.” ↑
