78.2.6

In this year Mun'im Khān, the Khān Khānān, and Muhammad Qāsim Khān, the High Admiral, on account of their being accomplices in the lawless and base act of Adham Khān, and for other reasons, passing the ford of Pūyah in a boat at the time of evening prayer, with the connivance of certain poor zamīndārs, in company with two or three horsemen, went towards Rūpar and Bajwārah by the skirts of the mountains. Thence they continued their flight towards Kabul, where Ghani Khan, son of Mun'im Khan, was governor, and eventually came to the pargana of Sarut, which is in the Doab, the fief of Mir Muhammad Munshi. Qasim 'Ali Khan, [and] Asp Julab Sistani, governor of that pargana, a donkey of a fellow, recognizing in their mode of action in the jungle signs of flight, with a number of ruffians and whole posse comitatus, came and seized both of them. Then he sent the news to the people of Sayyid Mahmud Barha, who happened to be in the neighbourhood. The latter appointed a number of his sons, and friends, to accompany them, and sent them with every mark of honour and respect to Agra. The Emperor commanded a number of those about his person to meet them, and bring them to his presence. Then at his own request he reinstated the Khan Khanan in his office of Premier under even better conditions than before. So the Khan Khanan, in conjunction with Shihab Khan and Khwajah Jahan, continued to conduct public affairs.
