318

Sha’h Fakhruddin came, in 961, with Huma’yu’n to India. In the 9th year of Akbar’s reign, he served in the army which was sent against ‘Abdullah Kha’n Uzbak (No. 14). In the 16th year, he was in the mangala’, or advance corps, commanded by Kha’n-i Kalan (No. 16). When Akbar arrived at Patan, he sent Sh. F. and Haki’m ‘Ain-ul-mulk to Mi’r Abu’ Tura’b and I’tima’d Kha’n (No. 67). On the road he fell in with the former, and went to I’tima’d whom he likewise induced to pay his respects to Akbar. He was among the auxiliaries of M. ‘Azi’z Kokah (No. 21) and was present in the battle of Patan (p. 396). He was also among the grandees who accompanied Akbar on his forced march to Gujrat (p. 325, note, where according to the Akbarnámah we have to read 24th Rabi’ II., for 4th Rabi’ I). After this, he was made Governor of Ujjain, and received the title of Naqa’bat Kha’n. In the end of the 24th year, he was made Governor of Patan (Gujrat), vice Tarsu’n Muhammad Kha’n (No. 32), where he soon after, probably in the beginning of 987, died (986, Tabaqa’t).
