Anonymous and undated manuscript entitled Risālah-'i Tīrandāzī (Treatise on Archery), was likely completed in India in the late 18th century. The volume was formerly held in the royal library of the kings of Awadh in Lucknow and bears the seals of Nāṣir al-Dīn Ḥaydar Shāh (r. 1827–1837) and Amjad ‘Alī Shāh (r. 1842–1847).
