Mahabat Khan had in the mean time returned to Ilahabad to oppose Shahjahan, and had placed M. ’A., who looked upon him with distrust, under surveillance. In the 21st year, Jahangir ordered Mahabat Khan to send M. ’A. to court, where he was reinstated in his titles and honours. He afterwards retired to his jagir at Lahor, when Mahabat Khan followed him and sent him back to Dihli. Soon after the failure of his scheme of retaining possession of Jahangir’s person, and the return of the monarch from Kabul, Mahabat Khan had to fly. Nur Jahan now appointed M. ’A. to follow up Mahabat, and contributed herself twelve lacs of rupees to the expedition. But before the necessary preparations had been completed, M. ’A. took ill at Lahor, and on his arrival in Dihli, he died at the age of seventy-two, in the end of Jahangir’s 21st year (1036). The words Khan Sipahsalar ku (where is the Khan Commander) are the tarikh of his death. M. ’A.’s great deeds are the conquests of Gujrat and Sind and the defeat of Suhail Khan of Bijapur. During Jahangir’s reign, he did nothing remarkable; nor was he treated with the respect which he had enjoyed during the lifetime of Akbar, though he was allowed to retain his rank. For nearly thirty years, he had been serving in the Dak’hin. - [Previous: 250.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.9) - [Next: 250.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.11) - [Up: 250](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.10) · Pramāṇa
