And Mahdi Qasim Khan, having got the district of Garha into his power, gave it to the Jagirdars, and then giving up his pursuit of Asaf Khan went by way of Hindia towards the sacred Mekka, which he had the happiness to reach. And Husain Khan with his own men went after him as far as the fortress of Satwas near the kingdom of Dekkan. Then all of a sudden Ibrahim Husain Mirza and Shah Mirza and Muhammad Husain Mirza, sons of Sultan Muhammad Mirza (who was descended on his father’s side from Taimur, the Fortunate, and on his mother’s side from Sultan Husain Mirza), an old man and full of years, to whom the Emperor had given the Parganna of A‘zampur as his jagir, raised the standard of revolt in the district of Sambhal. And, after the subjugation of the Khan Zaman, and the Emperor had turned towards the Panjab against Mirza Muhammad Hakim, they fleeing before Mun‘im Khan, the Khan Khanan, plunged into the midst of the district and came to Dihli, and eventually raised the standard of rebellion in the kingdom of Malwah. From this place two of the brothers, Shah Mirza, and Muhammad Husain Mirza, went and laid seige to Hindia. But Ibrahim Husain Mirza went towards Satwas, which was 10 cosses distant, and Husain Khan together with one named Muqarrab Khan, a chief of the Amirs of the Dekkan, shut himself up in Satwas.
