H. Beveridge-— Memoirs of fifty azid ffBajazet)"ffiyat-. [No. 4, 
there is a reference to one Mirza Shah, the" son of Jahnat-a&hiyanl- 
However this is not Humayun but a prince of the Deccan. There is a 1 
long account of Abu-l-niaili. This man killed his mother-in-law, Maham’ 
Cucak, the wife of Humayun and mother tif Muhammad Hakim. He 
was afterwards made prisoner by SulaimSn and put to death by 
Muhammad Hakim. ’ }

P. 1226 speaks of a woman named Agha Sarw-qad (cypress-form) 
who was formerly in the harem of Babar atid was now apparently Hhe 
wife or mistress of Mun‘im Khan. She came from IQian Zaman’s 
camp to MuiTim’s in the capacity of a spy or go-between. 
P. 1246. We read of Akbar’s hunting elephants near Cunar, just as 
v \ i . • 
his grandfather had done. 1 i 
P. 1286. Bayazid repairs a saffa or portico in Benares which had* 
been erected by Humayun. j 
P. 130a gives an account of one of Akbar’s meetings for religious 
debates. The mullds of Rum ( mullftyan-i-rum ) are mentioned as having 
been present, and probably this means Romish priests. 1 One Mirza' 
Muflis—a kingdom-less prince, and who is said to have been an adept at 
logic,—was present and was being pressed with a question by ‘Abdu-l-lah 
Sultanpuri. His rival Shaikh ‘Abdu-n-nabl was also there, and in his 
turn propounded a question to the Prince. The latter who had not 
replied to 4 Abdu-l-lah’s question, and was probably posed by it, (see 
Lowe’s Badaoni, 190) seems to have lost his temper and cried to 
4 Abdu-n-nabi “ Slave (Ghulam-i-Jcor) ! be a little patient till I have 
answered the big slave, and then I will answer you.” Mirza Muflis, (to 
whom there is a reference in Blochmann, 541), went to Mecca and died 
there in 989, (1581), and Bayazid witnessed his interment. ' 
P. : 131a. tells of the wonderful feat of a man called Mir FaHdun, 
who had some years before swallowed eighty misqals of baras or barask 
(an intoxicating drug or drink made apparently from Indian hemp) 
and who now, to please the Khan-khanan and his friends took 140 
misqals of the stuff. He also drank Koknar (a preparation of opium) 
instead of water, and yet for several nights remained in company, and 
acted as if the drugs had no effect on him. I 
P. 132a. Bayazid came to grief, very deservedly for destroying 
a Hindu temple at Benares with pillars bearing an inscription 7(50 
years old. He converted the building into a Madrasa, etc. Raja 
Todar Mai was annoyed at this and got the inhabitants to complain 
against him. The result was that Bayazid lost his appointment 
and was for several years a darwesh. After some years he became Mir 
Mai or keeper of the Seal (Blochmaiin VI), and subsequently he wa& 
made governor of Cunar. '
