Yeah..It must have been really funny. I also thought now. :))
Adding some info, i forgot to add yesterday. See these dates...
Birth of Aram Banu Begum - 22 December, 1584
Marriage of Salim with Man Bai(as per Akbarnama) - 16 February, 1585
Birth of Salim and Man Bai's daughter, Sultana-al-Nissa Begum - 26 April, 1586
As per Akbarnama, Volume-3, Pg-747 --->
"After the birth of this daughter of Man Bai, there were various rejoicings. The horoscope of this daughter according to the Greek method gave 18 degrees of Sagittarius and according to Hindu Method gave 1 degree 41 minutes. The enlightened sovereign, called her Sultana Khirad * , and contrary to the usage of contemporaries, had an assemblage to render thanksgivings. There was a great feast in the house of Maryam Makani, and there was a presentation of gifts, and there was largesse(bestowing gifts to the poor, like distributing 'Khairat' )."
Hamida Bano Begum(Maryam Makani) was very happy at the birth of this daughter. A feast(jashn) was ordered personally in her house, and this birth was celebrated with a huge pomp, especially by her.
* Khirad - It means a girl with 'intellect' ; In Hindi - 'aqal' ; and in Urdu - 'samaj' .
This shows that the birth of female child was welcomed by them, as they gave her this name, and celebrated the occasion with great pomp, with distribution of gifts among the poor. :)
