He grew up with Akbar, who remained attached to him to the end of his life. Though often offended by his boldness, Akbar would but rarely punish him; he used to say, “Between me and ‘Azíz is a river of milk which I cannot cross.” On the removal of the Atgah Khail (p. 321, l. 1.) from the Panjáb, he retained Dípálpúr, where he was visited by Akbar in the 16th year (978) on his pilgrimage to the tomb of Shaikh Faríd i Shakkarganj at Ajhodhan (Pák Patan, or Patan i Panjáb). In the 17th year, after the conquest of Ahmadábád, Mírzá ’Azíz was appointed governor of Gujrát as far as the Mahindrí river, whilst Akbar went to conquer Súrat. Muhammad Husain Mírzá and Sháh Mírzá, joined by Sher Khán Fúládí, thereupon besieged Patan; but they were at last defeated by Mírzá ‘Azíz and Qutbuddín. ’Azíz then returned to Ahmadábád. When Akbar, on the 2nd Çafar 981, returned to Fathpúr Síkrí, Ikhtiyárulmulk, a Gujrátí noble, occupied Ídar, and then moved against ’Azíz in Ahmadábád. Muhammad Husain Mírzá also came from the Dak’hin, and after attacking Kambháyt (Cambay), they besieged Ahmadábád. ‘Azíz held himself bravely. The siege was raised by Akbar, who surprised the rebels near Patan. During the fight Muhammad Husain Mírzá and Ikhtiyár ulmulk were killed. The victory was chiefly gained by Akbar himself, who with 100 chosen men fell upon the enemy from an ambush. ‘Azíz had subsequently to fight with the sons of Ikhtiyárulmulk. - [Previous: 241](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.241) - [Next: 242.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.242.2) - [Up: 242](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.242) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.242.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.242.1) · Pramāṇa
