In the beginning of Akbar’s reign, he conveyed, together with Shamsuddín Atgah (No. 15) the princesses from Kábul to India. His tuyúl was subsequently transferred to Nágor. For a short time he was also Governor of Málwah. In the 12th year, he was sent against Iskandar Khán Uzbak (vide No. 48) in Audh. After the death of Khán Zamán, Iskandar fled to Bengal, and Audh was given to Muhammad Qulí Khán as jágír. He subsequently served under Mun’im Khán in Bihár and Bengal. In the 19th year, when Dáúd had withdrawn to Sátgánw (Húglí), Mun’im Khán despatched M. Q. Kh. to follow up the Afghans, whilst he remained with Rájah Todar Mall in Tándah to settle financial matters. When M. Q. Khán arrived at Sátgánw, Dáúd withdrew to Orissa, to which country neither M. Q. Khán nor his officers had much inclination to go. From Sátgánw, M. Q. Khán invaded the district of Jesar (Jessore), where Sarmadí, a friend of Dáúd’s, had rebelled; but the imperialists met with no success, and returned to Sátgánw. Mun’im Khán at last ordered Todar Mall to join M. Q. Khán, and subsequently, both moved into Orissa. Soon after passing the frontier, M. Q. Khán died at Mednípúr (Midnapore), Ramazán, 982. He seems to have died a natural death, though some accused one of his eunuchs of foul play. His son, Mírzá Farídún Barlás (No. 227).

His son Mihr ’Alí Barlás was made by Jahángír a commander of One Thousand. - [Previous: 251.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.251.p2) - [Next: 253](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.253) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.252](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.252) · Pramāṇa
