Heg. 1022 (1613).--Prince Purvez was despatched with an army
against Amar Sinka, Rana or Prince of Odipoor, in the Deccan, who
had attacked and defeated the imperial troops. He was unsuccessful.
Jehangire recalled him and sent Mohabet Chan to replace him. The army,
however, being reduced by disease, and in a state of insubordination,
Mohabet was not in a condition to oppose the Rana. Prince Churrum,
the emperor’s third son, was consequently sent with fresh troops to
supersede Mohabet. He entered by the mountains, engaged the enemy, and
obliged him to sue for peace.
Heg. 1023 (1614).--Chan Azim and Man Singh, the two principal
supporters of Chusero’s rebellion, died. They were both distinguished
under the reign of Akbar, who advanced them to high offices in the
state.
Heg. 1024 (1615).--Sir Thomas Roe, the English ambassador to the court
of Agra, arrived at Boorampoor, where he was courteously received by
Sultan Purvez, governor of that province. He was subsequently received
by the Emperor at Ajmere with the greatest affability and kindness.
Disturbances in Guzzarat and Cabul quelled.
Heg. 1025 (1616).--Sultan Churrum’s name was changed to Shah Jehan,
or King of the World. The princes of the Deccan having rebelled, Shah
Jehan forced them to sue for peace, for which eminent service he rose
into high favour with the Emperor.
Heg. 1027 (1618).--The Vizier Actemad-ul-Dowla, father-in-law of the

the Throne.
Heg. 1029 (1620).--Shah Jehan marched a second time into the Deccan,
and reduced to subjection the princes, who had again rebelled. His
eldest brother, Chusero, was delivered into his hands.

son, who endeavoured to justify his rebellion. An action ensued in
which Shah Jehan was entirely defeated. Sultan Purvez arrived in the
camp, and under the tuition of Mohabet received command of the imperial
forces. He defeated the royal insurgent upon the banks of the Nerbuddah.
Heg. 1033 (1624).--Shah Jehan entered Bengal, defeated the Suba, took
possession of that province and likewise of Behar. Prince Purvez
advanced with the imperial army and again defeated his rebellious
brother, who fled towards the Deccan, was joined by the Rajah of
