Notes
This brief text entitled Chashmah-'i Kaws̲ar (Fountain of Abundance) compiles together poems on various subjects by a little-known Mughal-era poet Muḥammad Maqṣūd, pen-named Jāmi‘ (or Jāmi‘ī) Kashmīrī (fl. 17th c), who originally completed it in 1074 AH (1663–1664 CE), as indicated by a chronogram derived from the title. A scribe named Muḥammad Ya‘qūb copied this manuscript for himself, which he completed on 22 Rabī‘ II 1098 AH (7 Mar. 1687) in the 30th year of the Mughal Emperor ‘Ālamgīr I's reign. This manuscript appears to be the sole surviving copy of this work known today.
