" Mir 'Aszaduddaulah having now (A. D. 1621) become very old ; and 

 bent from old age, he is no longer fit for employment in the household, 

 the army, or the administration of a jagir. I excuse him therefore of 

 all further trouble, and give hereby the order, to pay him out of my 

 treasury the monthly sum of four thousand rupees cash, payable at 

 Agra, Lahore, or any other place, where he likes to reside, so that ho 

 may be happy and comfortable, always praying for the welfare of my 

 kingdom."

The word ^ac 3 ! I have heard generally pronounced Anju. I think 

 Ivjii is the correct pronunciation, as jsr»| appears to be the same as 

 jsM\ and jsH\ , a word thoroughly investigated by Qaatremere, 

 Histoire des Mongols, p. 130. From a remark in the Waccaf, it 

 appears that a part of Shiraz was called js*i\ inju. This seems to be 

 the meaning of the word *^sr>| injuyah, in the first line of the extract 

 from the Maasir ulumara. 



* Sayyid Ahmad s edition, p. 327, med. Major Price's translation of the 

 luzuk i Jahangiri mentions Mir Jamaluddin on several places; but the 

 imperfect MS. used by him, renders his translation useless. Major Price's 

 MS., to judge from the translation, resembles the bad MS. of our Society, 

 No. 1339 ( (j^l^ «i,l*i|j ).
