to Mulla Khwaja of the line of Sayyid Ata.1 Her third and fourth daughters Bega Beglm and Agha Begim, she gave to Babur Mlrza and Murad Mlrza the sons of her younger sister, Rabl'a-sultan Beglm.2
Two other daughters of the Mlrza were by Mingll Blbl Aghacha. They gave the elder one, Bairam-sultan Beglm to Sayyid Abdu'1-lah, one of the sayyids of Andikhud who was a grandson of Bai-qara Mlrza 3 through a daughter. A son of this marriage, Sayyid Barka4 was in my service when Samarkand was taken (917 ah.-Hii AD.); he went to Aurganj later and there made claim to rule; the Red-headss killed him in Astarabad. Mingll Bibl's second daughter was Fatima-sultan Beglm ; her they gave to Yadgar(-i-farrukh) Mlrza of Tlmur Beg's line.6
Three daughters7 were by Papa Aghacha. Of these the oldest, Sultan-nizhad Beglm was made to go out to Iskandar Mlrza, youngest son of SI. Husain Mlrza's elder brother Bai-qara Mlrza. The second, (Sa'adat-bakht, known as) Beglm Sultan, was given to SI. Mas'ud Mlrza after his blinding.8 By SI. Mas'ud

3 Not finding mention of a daughter of Abu-sa'id named Rabl'a-sultan, I think she may be the daughter styled Aq Begim who is No. 3 in Gul-badan's guest-list for the Mystic Feast.
3 This man I take to be Husain's grandfather and not brother, both because 'Abdu'llah was of Husain's and his brother's generation, and also because of the absence here of Babur's usual defining words " eider brother " (ofSl. Husain Mirza). -In this I have to differ from Dr. Rieu (Pers. Cat. p. 152).
4 So-named after his ancestor Sayyid Barka whose body was exhumed from Andikhud for reburial in Si.■"-arkand, by Timur's wish and there laid in such a position that Timur's body was at its feet (Zafar-nama ii, 7:9; H.S. iii, 82). (For the above interesting detail I am indebted to my husband.)
5 Qizil-bash, Persians wearing red badges or caps to distinguish them as Persians.
6 Yadgar-i-farrukh Miran-shahi (H.S. iii, 327). He may have been one of those Mlran-shahls of 'Iraq from whom came Aka's and Sultanim's husbands, Ahmad and 'Abdu'1-baqi (ff. 164, 175*).
7 This should be four (f. 169A). The H.S. (iii, 327) also names three only when giving Papa Aghacha's daughters (the omission linking it with the B. N.), but elsewhere (iii, 229) it gives an account oi a fourth girl's marriage ; this fourth is needed to make up the total of 11 daughters. Babur's and Khwand-amlr's details of Papa Aghacha's quartette are defective ; the following may be a more correct list: (1) Begim Sultan (a frequent title), married to Aba-bikr Miran-shahi (who died 884 ah.) and seeming too old to be the one [No. 3] who married Mas'ud (H.S. iii, 229); (2) Sultan-nizhad, married to Iskandar Bai-qara ; (3) Sa'adat-bakht also known as Beglm Sultan, married to Mas'ud Miran-shahi (H.S. iii, 327); (4) Manauwar-sultan, married to a son of Aulugh Beg KabuS (11.5. iii, 32?*
8 This "after" seems to contradict the statement (f. 58) that Mas'ud was made to kneel as a son-in-law (kuyadlik-ka yukunduriib) at a date previous to his blinding, but the seeming contradiction may be explained by considering the following details ;
