I am a little confused as I dont know urdu - what does marian uz zamani mean? When Raquiya got pregnant, she said she will be known as mariam uz zamani. So was the mother of the first born called that in the mughal empire?

In a marriage of political alliance, Mariam ul-Zamani (Jodha Bai) was married to Akbar on February 6, 1562 at Sambhar, Rajasthan, India. She was 22 days older than her husband. She became a secondary wife of Akbar after Empress Ruqaiya Sultan Begum, who was Akbar's first wife and chief consort,^[2] and Empress Salima Sultan Begum, the widow of his most trusted general, Bairam Khan. As per the custom of renaming a Hindu wife, Hira Kunwari was given the title Mariam ul-Zamani ("Mary of the Age").
