The Institutes of Akbar 368: 137. Qabūl Khān.

368

From the Akbarnāmah (II., p. 450, last event of the 15th year of Akbar’s reign) we see that Qabūl Khān had conquered the District of Bhambar on the Kashmīr frontier. One of the Zamīndārs of the District, named Jalāl, made his submission, and obtained by flattery a great power over Qabūl, who is said to have been a good-hearted Turk. Jalāl not only managed on various pretexts to send away Qabūl’s troops, but also his son Yādgār Husain (No. 338), to Naushahrah. The Zamīndārs of the latter place opposed Yādgār, and wounded him in a fight. Exhausted and wounded as he was, Yādgār managed to escape and took refuge with a friendly Zamīndār. About the same time Jalāl collected his men and fell over Qabūl, and after a short struggle killed him (5th Ramazān, 978).
Akbar ordered Khān Jahān to invade the District. The lands of the rebellious Zamīndārs were devastated and summary revenge was taken on the ringleaders. Yādgār Husain recovered from his wounds. He is mentioned below among the commanders of Two Hundred.
The Akbarnāmah mentions another Qabūl Khān among the officers who served in the Afghān war in Bengal under Mun’im Khān Khānān. He was present in the battle of Takaroī and pursued the Afghāns under Todar Mall to Bhadrak (p. 375). Neither of the two Qabūl Khāns is mentioned in the Tabaqāt and the Maāsir.
