Rs, 2,000 as nazr, and 100 horses However, there was not 
one of his horses that I approved of | His age appeared to me 
to be more than eighty vears, and he himself said he was 
ninety. In his senses and powers there was no appearance of

on Friday, 29th, Shahrivar, Ist Shawwal. 1027 (Ibid, II, 34). 
Again, in the lengthy prolegomena in which the author of the 
‘ Amal-i-Salik gives an account of the achievements of his hero 
during the days of his princehood, we are told that when 
Jahangir was at Ahmadabad, ‘‘ three detachments of the Im- 
peria] army were sent by the orders of the Shahzada Khurram, 
i.e. Shah Jahan, to chastise the recalcitrants in different direc- 
tions. One of them was despatched under the Ray Rayan (ie. 
tiga against the turbulent Jam and Bhara; another under 
Raja Bhim, son of Rina Amar Singh, for the punishment of the 
rebels in the Mahikantha, and a third under Sayyed Saif Khan 
for tr tgp the disturbances on the banks of the Sabarmati

Bharmalfi actually struck Koris bearing the name of Jahangir. 
‘ Bharaji,” he writes, “ struck another Kori bearing Jahangir’s 
name, which I had only heard of, but could not come across 
until lately I found two specimens in the Royal Asiatic 
Society’s Cabinet. It is likea Jahangir coin, and was probably 
struck in or about the year 1617, when the Rao went to 
Ahmadabad to pay his respects to the Emperor,
