It rests on the accounts of Mulla Shah's own disciples (Dara Shikoh's Sakinat al-awliya and Jahanara's Risala-yi Sahibiya) and on the standard secondary literature (Rizvi, Schimmel, Meier). It is the anchor source for this record: the birth year 990/1582, the Qadiri affiliation, the discipleship under Mian Mir, the royal disciples and the death at Lahore in 1661 are all taken from it.",
