ADDITIONAL NOTES
the conquest of Dihli and help asked against Bahadur Shah Gujratl, A second but earlier mention of " Sayyid Vakni" (Zakni, Ruhnl ?) SAirdzi is on p. 619. Whether the two entries refer to Shah Tahir nothing makes clear. The cognomen ShirazI disassociates them. It is always to be kept in mind that preliminary events are frequently lost in gaps ; one such will be the arrivals of the various envoys, mentioned on p. 630, whose places of honour are specified on p. 631. Much is on record about Sayyid Shah Tahir Dakni and particulars of his life are available in the histories by Badayimi (Ranking trs.) and Firishta Nawal Kishor ed. p. 105) ; B.M. Harleyan MS. No. 199 contains his letters (see Rieu's Pers. Cat. p. 395). P. 699 and n. 3. The particulars given by the Tabaqat-i-akbarl about Multan at this date (932-4 AH.) are as follows: After Babur took the Panj-ab, he ordered Shah Hasan Arghitn to attempt Multan, then held by one SI. Mahmiid who, dying, was succeeded by an infant son Husain. Shah Hasan took Multan after a 16 (lunar) months' siege, at the end of 934 ah. (in a B.N. lacuna therefore), looted and slaughtered in it, and then returned to Tatta. On this Langar Khan took possession of it (H.B.). What part 'Askari (itt. 12) had in the matter is yet to learn; possibly he was nominated to its command and then recalled as Babur mentions (935 AH.).
