Diskussion:Shah Jahan

message: Das Datum von Shah Jahans Tod gibt Sāqī Musta‘idd Khān, der Chronist von Shah Jahans Nachfolger Aurangzeb, in seinen Ma’āsir-i ‘Ālamgīrī im Kapitel zum 7. Jahr der Herrschaft Aurangzebs (1076 der Hidschra), wie folgt an:
:"Early in the night of Monday the 26th Rajab, Shah Jahan succumbed to the disease and gave up the ghost."
:Also: "Zum Beginn der Nacht von Montag dem 26. Rajab erlag Schah Jahan der Krankheit und gab den Geist auf."
::Sāqī Musta‘idd Khān: Ma’āsir-i ‘Ālamgīrī, übersetzt von Jadunath Sarkar, 2. Aufl. Delhi 1986, S. 34.
Der 26. Rajab 1076 der Hidschra ergibt den 1. Februar 1666 gregorianisch und den 22. Januar 1666 julianisch. Nachzuprüfen mit dem Calendar Converter. Die ältere englische Geschichtsschreibung gibt für das Mogulreich üblicherweise das julianische Datum an, da Großbritannien erst 1752 auf den  gregorianischen Kalender umstellte.

message: Jahangir war nach heutigen Maßstäben sicher ein Alkoholiker, und verbrauchte dazu einiges an Opium. Er schreibt dazu in seiner Autobiographie:
:I had not drunk it till I was 15 (andere Manuskripte: 18) years old, except when in the time of my infancy two or three times my mother and wet-nurses gave it by way of infantile remedy… 
:At the time when the camp of my revered father had been pitched in order to put down the disturbance of Yusufzai Afghans at the fort of Attock (das war Dezember 1585, als Jahangir 17 Jahre alt war)… One day I had mounted to go out to hunt… A gunner of the name of Ustād Shāh-qulī… said to me that if I would take a cup of wine it would drive away the feeling of being tired and heavy…
:After that, I took to drinking wine, and increased it from day to day until wine made from grapes ceased to intoxicate me, and I took to drinking arrack and by degrees during nine years my potions rose to twenty cups of doubly distilled spirits, fourteen during the daytime and the rest at night. The weight of this was six Hindustani sirs or one and a half maunds of Iran (≈ 3 ½ Liter; 1 Seer (sīr) = 585,25 g)… In that state of matters no one had the power to forbid me, and matters went to such a length that in the crapulous state from the excessive trembling of my hand I could not drink from my own cup, but others had to give it to me to drink, until I sent for Hakīm Humām… He, with excessive sincerity and unfeigned burning of the heart, said to me without hesitation: “Lord of the world, by the way in which you drink spirits, God forbid it, but in six months matters will come to such a pass that there will be no remedy for it.”… From that day, I began to lessen my allowance and set myself to take filūnīyā (das genaue Rezept ist unbekannt, aber es enthält Opium und Pfeffer). In proportion as I diminished my liquor, I increased the amount of filuniya.
:I also ordered that the arrack should be diluted with wine of the grape so that there should be two parts wine and one part arrack. Every day I diminished the quantity I took, and in the course of seven years, I brought it down to six cups. The weight of each cupful was 18 ¼ misqals (≈ 42 g, zusammen täglich 166 ml Wein und vier Stamperl Schnaps). It is now fifteen years that I have drunk at this rate, neither more or less. And my drinking time is the night except on the day of Thursdays, as it is the day of the blessed accession. Also on the eve of Friday, which is the most blessed eve of the week, and is the prelude to a blessed day…
:After some time I substituted opium for filuniya. Now that my age has arrived to 46 solar years and 4 months, I eat eight surkhs (31 g) of opium when five gharis of day have passed (ca. um 8 Uhr morgensIch nehme an, dass Jahangir fünf Ghaṛīs nach Sonnenaufgang meint. Die Tage begannen mit dem Sonnenuntergang , aber Opium um 20 Uhr und um 21 Uhr ist nicht so sinnvoll.) and six surkhs (23 ½ g) after one watch of night (ca. um 21 h).
