Jahdngir's children. 1. Sultan Khusrau. 2. Sultan Parwiz.f 

 3. Sultan Khurrara (Shahjahan). 4. Sultan Jahandar. 5. Sultan 

 Shahryar. Two daughters are mentioned : — (a.) Sultan Nisar Begum ; 

 (b.) Sultan Bahar Band Begum. 



Sultan Khusrau was born on the 24th Amurdad 995, (Tuzulc, 

 Preface) ; but Khafi Khan says 997. He was married to a daugther 

 of A'zam Khan Kokah, and to a daughter of Muzaffar Husain (Tuzuk, 

 p. 76). His sons — 1. Baland Akhtar, who died when young, (Tuzuk, 

 p. 73.) 2. Dawar Bakhsh [Bulaqi], (vide below). His daughter, 

 Hoshmand Band Bellini, was married to Hoshang, son of Danyal. 3. 

 Garshasp, (Gushtasp, according to the Khuldgatuttawdrikh). Khusrau 

 died on the 18th Isfandiyarmuz, 1031. 



Sultan Panoiz, born 19th Aban 997 ; died of delirium tremens 

 on the 7th £!afar, 1036. He had a son who died when young. A 

 daughter of Parwiz was married to Dara Shikoh. 



Sultan Jahandar had no children. He and Sultan Shahryar were 

 born at about the same time, a few months before Akbar's death (Tuz. 

 Preface, p. 17). Shahryar was married in the 16th year of Jahangi'r, 

 to the daughter of Nur Jahan by Slier Afkan, by whom he had a 

 daughter, Arzani Begum (Tuzuk, p. 370). From his want of abil- 

 ities, he got the nickname Ndshudani (fit for nothing). Khusrau, 

 Parwiz, and Jahandar died before their father. 



The history of the fate of Shahryar, Dawar Bakhsh, and the sons 

 of Danyal, belongs to the most confused portions of Indian History. 



The Pddishdhndmah (I, pp. 73 to 80) says that, when Shahryar 

 proclaimed himself emperor at Lahor, Bayasanghar, Danyal's second 

 son, fled to him, and was appointed Sultan Sipahsdldr of the army 

 with which Shahryar wished to oppose Acaf Khan, who was marching 

 against him. Acaf Khan's object was to support Shahjahan, at that 

 time engaged in the Dak'hin. But in order better to oppose Shahryar, 

 JCcaf Khan had proclaimed Dawar Bakhsh (also called ^Jb) emperor. 

 The other sons of Danyal, Tahmuras and Hoshang, were in Acaf's 

 army. On the mere approach of the troops of the enemy, Shahryar's
