But Sultan Muhammad, desiring to desert to his uncle, came alone to meet the latter, and receiving much kindness from his uncle, stayed on with him. Sultan Shuj'a gave his daughter in marriage to him. Sultan Muhammad, on the side of Sultan Shuj'a, fought several battles with the Imperialists, consisting of the Khan-i-Khanan and Diler Khan, &c. At length, on finding Sultan Shuj'a negligent and apathetic, Sultan Muhammad went over again to the side of the Imperialists, and from thence to the presence of Emperor Aurangzeb at Shah Jahanabad, where he was imprisoned. And orders were repeated to the Khan-i-Khanan to pursue Sultan Shuj'a. In short, one day when Diler Khan, &c., crossed the river at Paglaghat, Diler Khan's son, with a number of efficient men, was drowned. Sultan Shuj'a with his dependants and adherents, getting into war-vessels which had been brought up from Jahangirnagar (Dacca), set out for the latter place. The Khan-i-Khanan also followed him up by land. Finding it impossible to make a stand at this place either, Sultan Shuj'a with a number of followers took the road to Assam, and from thence proceeded to Arrakan, and took shelter with the ruler of that tract, who was a Syed, and in a short time he died there, either owing to the treachery of the ruler of that tract, or from natural disease.
