Kha’n i Kala’n, Mir Muhammad, elder brother of Atgah Khan. The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 237 - **Language:** English ### [237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.237) He served under Kamran and Humayun, and rose to high dignity during the reign of Akbar. Whilst Governor of the Panjab, where most of the Atgahs (Atgah Khail) had jagirs, he distinguished himself in the war with the G’hakkars, the extirpation of Sultan Adam, and in keeping down Kamal Khan. In the ninth year he assisted Mirza Muhammad Hakim against Mirza Sulaiman (No. 5), restored him to the throne of Kabul, settled the country, and sent back the imperial troops under his brother Qutbuddin (No. 28), though Akbar had appointed the latter Ataliq of the Prince. But Khan i Kalan did not get on well with M. M. Hakim, especially when the Prince had given his sister Fakhrunnisa Begum (a daughter of Humayun by Jijak Begum, and widow of Mir Shah 'Abdul Ma’ali) to Khwajah Hasan Naqshbandi in marriage. To avoid quarrels, Khan i Kalan left one night Kabul and returned to Lahor. In the 13th year (976), the Atgah khail was removed from the Panjab, and ordered to repair to Agrah. Khan i Kalan received Sambhal as Jagir, whilst Husain Quli Khan (No. 24) was appointed to the Panjab. In 981, he was sent by Akbar in advance, for the reconquest of Gujrat (Bad. II, 165). On the march, near Sarohi (Ajmir), he was wounded by a Rajput, apparently without cause; but he recovered. After the conquest, he was made governor of Patan (Nahrwalah). He died at Patan in 983. He was a poet and wrote under the takhallus of ‘Ghaznawi,’ in allusion to his birthplace. Badaoni (III, 287) praises him for his learning. His eldest son, Fazil Khan (No. 156) was a Hazarah, and was killed when Mirza 'Aziz Kokah (No. 21), was shut up in Ahmadnagar. His second son, Farrukh Khan (No. 232) was a Pansadi. Nothing else is known of him. - [Previous: 236](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.236) - [Next: 238](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.238) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.237) · Pramāṇa
