and having bestowed princely Khilaats (dresses of honour) 

 upon Khwajah 'Abdullah and his son named Shahi Beg, pre- 

 sented to them one hundred Akbarshahi ashrafis and fifteen 

 hundred rupees and twenty-four thousand Muradi tankas, and 

 gave them permission to return to their country. 



Here Dowson has " 1501 Rupees and 24 tankas," and leaves 

 out the word Muradi in his translation (E.D. V, p. 411), though 

 it is clearly written in the Lucknow Lithograph as well as in the 

 Mulla Firuz Library Manuscript. 



Badaoni does not mention Khwajah 'Abdullah or his son 

 by name or the presents made to them, though he does say 

 that Hakim 'Ali was sent in company with the Dakhni en- 

 voys to Bijagarh (Bijapur). 



The next passage occurs in Nizamu-d-din's annals of the 

 thirty-second Regnal year.

11 About the same time, when the sun was in his exalta- 

 tion, the envoy of * Abdullah Khan and Nazar Bey, together 

 with his sons, had the honour of paying their respects [to the 

 Emperor] and performing the kurnish. And Isma'il Quli Khan 

 and Raisingh also brought the elders and chiefs of the Baluoh 

 tribes, who had the honour of kissing the threshold. To Nazar 

 Bey and his sons were given as a present four lacs of Muradi 



tankas, which are equivalent to five hundred Tumans of 'Iraq. 



Here Dowson has again omitted the qualifying epithet 

 Muradi in his version. (E.D. V, p. 453.) 



The corresponding passage in Badaoni is as follows. :
