  • What shall I write of her goodness and excellence? She had a mind to perfection and she was so loyal to me that she would have sacrificed a thousand sons and brothers for one hair on my head. She constantly wrote advice to Khusrau and tried to reason with him to be loving and loyal to me. When she saw it was of no use and there was no telling where it would end, she decided to take her own life out of zeal which is an integral part of the Rajput culture. While I was away on a hunt, on the twenty-sixth of Dhu'l-Hijja 1013 , with her mind in a state of imbalance she ate a lot of opium and died soon thereafter. Since she was incapable of tolerating the misconduct of her son and brother towards me, she despaired of her life in a fit of madness and delivered herself of all this pain and grief. With her death, given the attachment I had to her, I passed my days without deriving pleasure in any way from life or living. For four nights and days, I was so upset that I took no food or drink.
