78.37.8

On the twentieth of Muharram in this year having arranged the affairs of the army of Kokandah, the Emperor started on his way back to the Seat of Felicity Fathpūr, and on the first of the month of Çafar he reached his usual dwelling-place. At this time messengers brought word that after the Khān Jahān had left Garhī, Dāūd had advanced from Tāndah to a place called Āg-Mahall, on one side of which is the river Ganges, and on the other side it joins the mountains. And that there he had taken up his position, and strengthened it with a trench, and fort, and was every day making sallies thence. And that Khwājah ‘Abd-ullah, grandson of Khwājah Ahrār (may God sanctify his glorious tomb!) had fallen after making repeated and vigorous attacks on the trench. And that on the other side Khān Kūjīk (?), the leader of the Afghāns had been slain. Upon this the Emperor wrote a farmān to Muzaffar Khān, commandant of Patnah and Bihār, ordering him to collect all the forces of that district and to proceed to the assistance of Khān Jahān.
