Summary

Depicts a scene in the work Sūz u gudāz ("Burning and melting") by Muhammad Rizā Nau'ī of Khasbushan (d. 1610). In the right foreground, on horseback, is Prince Dāniyāl, Akbar's third son, from whom Nau'ī received the story.

Daniyal (1572–1605) Mirza was a Mughal prince and the son of Emperor Akbar. He was appointed as the Viceroy of the Deccan in 1600 by his half-brother, Emperor Jahangir. However, Daniyal Mirza died in 1605, before he could assume the office, and the post was instead given to another prince, Sultan Khurram (who later became Emperor Shah Jahan).
