[80] This was not the ʿId, for the month was not over. It was the feasting after nightfall usual in the Ramaẓān. [↑]
[81] k͟hudāwandi-gār. For which word see Vullers and the Bahār-i-ʿAjam. Perhaps it means here a locum-tenens or officiating master. [↑]
[82] Apparently this should be thirty-two. The egg was laid on 21 Amurdād, see p. 237, and the interval between the hatching of the two chicks was three or four days. [↑]
[83] Text dah yāzdah, ten to eleven. But MS. 305 has dah pānzdah, ten to fifteen, which is more likely. The meaning then would be that the young of the sāras were 50 per cent., or one-half, larger than goslings. The common expression for one-tenth is dah yak. [↑]
[84] Ganj in No. 181. Perhaps it should be Gajna, see I.G., 17, p. 11. [↑]
[85] MSS. Atrak. It is the Wātrak of Bayley’s Gujarat, p. 201, and the Vātrak of I.G., XXI. 344. [↑]
[86] Sult̤ān Maḥmūd III., killed by Burhān in February, 1554. Bayley’s Gujarat, pp. 449 and 453. Jahāngīr calls him the last Sult̤ān of Gujarat, because Aḥmad II. and Muz̤affar III. were regarded as spurious. See Āyīn-i-Akbarī, Jarrett, II. 261. [↑]
[87] Probably great-grandson, for S͟hāh ʿĀlam died in 880 (1475–76), as Jahāngīr tells us supra, and he says that he questioned Sayyid Muḥammad about S͟hāh ʿĀlam’s raising the dead, and that Sayyid Muḥammad said he had the story from his father and grandfather. The Maʾās̤iru-l-Umarā, III. 447, says Sayyid Muḥammad was five removes from S͟hāh ʿĀlam. [↑]
[88] For Yāqūt, see Blochmann, 99–100. He was a famous calligrapher, and lived in the thirteenth century. It appears, however, that Yāqūtī is also the name of a particular kind of writing. [↑]
