In the meantime, Mu'taqad Khan, who was afterwards honoured with the title of Lashkar Khan, 'Abdus-Salam Khan, son of 'Abdul Mu'azzam Khan, and other officers of the Emperor arrived with a fresh re-inforcement of 300 cavalry and 400 musketeers. Shujait Khan taking this corps with him, chased the enemy. Wali Khan despairing sent the following message : "The root of this insurrection was 'Osman ; he has met with his deserts, we are all loyal. If we receive assurance of safety, we would make our submission and would send the elephants of 'Osman, in the shape of tribute." Shujait Khan and Mu'taqad Khan, shewing chivalry, arranged terms of peace. The following day, Wali Khan and Mamriz Khan, with all their brothers and connexions, came to meet Shujait Khan, and presented forty-nine elephants as tribute. Shujait and Mu'taqad Khan, taking charge of them, moved victorious and triumphant to Islam Khan to Jahangirnagar (Dacca). Islam Khan sent a despatch containing news of the victory to the Emperor at Akbarabad (Agra). On the 16th of the month of Muharram 1021 A.H., this despatch reached the Emperor, and was perused. In recognition of this good service, Islam Khan was raised to the mansab of a Shashhazari, and Shujait Khan had his mansab raised, and received the title of Rustam-i-Zaman ; whilst all other Imperialists who had loyally and gallantly co-operated in the extirpation of 'Osman Khan, received similarly befitting mansabs.
