H. Beveridge —Memoirs of Bayazid ( [Bajazet) Biydt. [No. 4, 
was that when they were in India together before Humayun’s expulsion, 
Bairam, then only Bairam Beg and the Muhrddr (seal-keeper), had 
wanted to sit on the same carpet ( zulca ) with Tardi Beg who was at 
that time governor of Etawa, and that the latter had refused to make 
room for him. 
Hemu’s head was sent to Munfim Khan in Af gh anistan (at 
Quruqsai) and he sent it on to Bayazid at Kabul with instructions to 
place it over the Iron Gate, and to have the drums of rejoicing beaten. 
It was 3 or 4 hours of the night when the head arrived and Bayazid 
at once went up to the citadel to give the good news to the Begams. 
They sent out a number of their servants to inquire how it was certain 
that it really was Hemu’s head, to which Bayazid replied by sending 
them Mun‘im Khan’s letter to read. 
P. 90a tells of Bayazid’s being sent for and reproved by Maryam- 
makani’s orders for not clearing out a house for a servant of hers. He 
pleaded Mun‘im Khan’s commands and was forgiven. On this occasion 
Mah Cacak Khalifa acted as interpreter or perhaps as go-between. 
After this the Begams, including Salima Sultan and Bika Begam. 
went off to India. 
P. 93a mentions that Haram Begam, the masterful wife of Sulai- 
man, left Badakhshan on account of some disagreement and came to 
Kabul. Her husband went to Mun‘im begging him to induce her to 
return. He was successful and Bayazid escorted her a part of the way 
back. 
P. 95a records the death of Mirza Ibrahim, son of M. Sulaiman. 
He and his father, who had been in 72 fights with the Uzbaks and had 
always been successful, went against Balkh, but this time Ibrahim got 
separated from his father, was taken prisoner and put to death. The 
date was 966. 
P. 98a describes a visit paid by Mun‘im Khan and other 
grandees of the Court to the shrine of Khwaja Qutbu-d-din Bakhtvar 
Kaki on the occasion of the saint’s anniversary. The shrine was in 
old Dihli, i.e ., near the Qutb, which according to some, derives its 
name from the saint. Qutbu-d-din Kaki was from IJsh in Farghana, 
which perhaps accounts for his popularity with Babar’s descendants, 
and his anniversary, i.e., the day of his death, is the 27th November. 
There is a long account of him by Firishta at the end of his history 
and Abu’l-fazl has also a paragraph about him, (Jarrett III, 363). 
Bayazid’s elder brother, the saint and poet Bahrain Saqqa, was living 
in New Dihli in the cell of Nizamu-d-din Auliya near Humayun’s tomb, 
but he too went off to the “ Uras ” in the discharge of his self-imposed 
duty of water-carrying. On his way back he got a fresh attack of
