Then Husain Quli Khan set off to oppose the Mirzas. When he arrived at the village of Chamari he received the honour of paying his respects to that paragon of pilgrims, that offspring of renowned saints Khwajah ‘Abd-ush-Shahid, grandson of Khwajah Ahrar (God sanctify his spirit!), who promised him victory, and gave the Khan his own dress as a present. The result of this prayer was, that having arrived by forced marches at Tulambah, he gained the glorious victory which my historical pen has already narrated:— “We are deeply wounded in our hearts, It will not be without its effect, Be sure, on all those For whomsoever we pray in sincerity.” In this year also Sulaiman Kirarani, ruler of Bengal, who gave himself the title of Hazrat-i-A‘la, and had conquered the city of Katak-u-Banaras, that mine of heathenism, and having made the stronghold of Jaganat’h into the home of Islam, held sway from Kamru to Orisá, attained the mercy of God. His son Báyazíd succeeded him; but in the course of five or six months he was slain by the Afgháns, and his brother Dá'úd bin Sulaimán attained the sovereignty.
