That the first is a Timurid prince - a mīrzā - is suggested by logic (a circumcision feast is after all primarily a family event) and historical circumstances. Interestingly, sources name only two male participants in the 1546 circumcision tooy explicitly: Hindal Mirza and Yadgar-Nasir Mirza. The latter was the son of Nasir Mirza, a half-brother of Babur's and, in accordance with Timurid practice, he would have been more or less regarded as a "brother" by Humayun; [76] not only that, but he was at least nominally the legitimate heir to the Ghazni throne. This would reasonably account for his attire and possibly also for the presence of armed men at this relatively intimate "family reception.
