Answer 1

It means date I guess

Answer 2

A tarikh (singular)/tawarikh (plural) are ‘histories’ which are valuable sources of information. These were written in Persian, the language of administration under the Delhi Sultans. The authors of tawarikh were learned men (secretaries, administrators, poets and courtiers) who both recounted events and advised rulers on governance, emphasising the importance of just rule.
