Muntakhab al-tawarikh 61.5.6

61.5.6

The Mirza crossed the river with his horse and saddle and succeeded in reaching the Raja. From there he proceeded alone, clothed in and taking with him, was escorted by some of the Raja’s subjects till he arrived in the vicinity of the village of Ghari Khati on the bank of the river Behat, and rested there one night. Inasmuch as that village is near Sultanpur the residence of Sultan Adam Ghakkar, at a distance of three krohs from the fortress of Rohtas, some one went to Sultan Adam and informed him that a Mughal woman was encamped at such and such a place, attended only by one jilaudar, and that her intention was to proceed on the following morning. Sultan Adam sent messengers to make enquiries, and then proceeded in person, and had an interview with the Mirza, who by persistent entreaty prevailed upon him to give a promise that he would send him in safety to a place of refuge. Sultan Adam accordingly wrote a letter to Muhammad Humayun Padshah, who had recently arrived in that neighbourhood, begging him to spare the Mirza’s life. The Padshah wrote an order in accordance with this request of his, and sent it to him, but eventually, two years later, he again seized the Mirza, and after blinding him with a lancet proposal, and folk began to entertain increased suspicion against him, and both small and great talked openly about him. Shāh Muhammad summoned these two holy men into his own private dwelling for safe custody, and took great pains to entertain them.
