This is a blunder. Jahangir's fourth son was named Jahandar, and
died in or about A.H. 1035 = A.D. 1625-6. Daniyal was third son of
Akbar, and younger brother of Jahangir. He died from _delirium
tremens_ in A.D. 1605, a few months before the death of Akbar,
21. Jahangir died, when returning from Kashmir, on the 8th November,
A.D. 1627 (N.S.), and was buried near Lahore. The fight with Shahryar
took place at Lahore.
22. Bulaki assumed the title of Dawar Baksh during his short reign,
and struck coins at Lahore. He 'vanished--probably to Persia--after
his three months' pretence of royalty; and on 25th January, 1628 (18
Jumada I, 1037), Shah-Jahan ascended at Agra the throne which he was
to occupy for thirty years'. Shahryar was known by the nickname of
_Na-shudani_, or 'Good-for-nothing' (Lane-Poole, _The History of the
Moghul Emperors of Hindustan, illustrated by their Coins_, p. xxiii).
The two nephews of Jahangir, the sons of Daniyal, slaughtered at this
time, had been, according to Herbert, baptized as Christians
(_Travels_, ed. 1677, pp. 74, 98). There are great discrepancies in
the accounts given by various authorities concerning the fate of
Bulaki and the other victims of Shah Jahan.
