He came with Humáyún to Hindústán. In the 11th year (973), he was sent together with Sháh Qulí Nárinjí (No. 231) to Gaḍha-Katangah, because Mahdí Qásim Khán (No. 36) had gone without leave to Makkah. Kákar served also under Mu’izzul-Mulk (No. 61), and was present in the battle of Khairábád. He took part in the bloody fight at Sarnál (middle of Sha’bán, 980; vide p. 333). He was then attached to Mun’im’s corps, and served in the siege of Patnah, during which he and his son were killed (end of 981; Maásir, 980).
