ZIMMAY is the northernmost Shan State tributary to Siam, and lies about three weeks' journey from Moulmein, and forty (lays' from Bangkok. The prince or chief of Zitumay is nominally subordinate to the king of Siam, to whom a yearly tribute of very trifling value is paid. In reality, however, the control exercised from Baugkok has been of the slenderest kind, tho Zimmay people accepting the suzerainty of Siam merely as one degree less objectiotutble than that of the Burmese, whom they dislike very strongly. Various reasons exist for the inefficient control exercised from Bangkok, not the least being the length and difficulty of communication between Bangkok and Zimmay, and the dis turbed condition of Zinunay and the adjacent Shan States.
ZINAT-un-NISSA, daughter of the emperor Aurangzeb. Kazi Shahab - ud- Din, following Khafi Khan, states that in her young days she became attached to the young raja Sahoo, and the two young people having been allowed to grow up together, on one occasion, Aurang,zeb, observing them in the same room, forbade all future intercourse. Aurangzeb died at Alnnadnaggur in
the Dekhan, where he was provisionally interred (somp gym), and his remains were afterwards finally placed in a tomb on the hill at Roza near Dowlatabad, and over his retnains is a very simple cupola or dome. At Aurangabad, however, is the splendid tomb of this daughter. The author of TraveLs of a Hindu states that the Zinat-Ma.sjid, more commonly called the Kumari-Masjid, or Maiden's Mosque, was built by Zinat-un-Nissa, the virgin daughter of Aurangzeb, who, like Jahan ara, remained unmarried. The princess who built it having declined entering into the married state, laid out a large sum of money in the above mosque, and on completing it she built a small sepulchre of white marble, surrounded by a wall of the same, in the west corner of the terrace. In this tomb, he says, she was buried, in the year of the Hijira 1122, corresponding with the year of Christ 1710.—Tr. Hind. ii. p. 312.
