Then Ma'sum Khan having been victorious and having succeeded in forming a junction with the Qaqshals, crossed the river Ganges to oppose Muzaffar Khan. Muzaffar Khan shut himself up in the fort of Tandah, which consisted of four old walls and nothing more. Vazir Khan Jamil Beg, who was one of the old loyal Amirs (p. 282), in conjunction with Jan Muhammad Khan Bihbudi and other warriors, joined the rebels. They took Hakim Abu-l-Fath and Khwajah Shams-ud-din and most of the nobles prisoners. But these two leaders together with Rai Patr Das by some means or other effected their escape, and with the help of the zamindars managed to reach Hajipur. During these troubles Hakim Nur-ud-din Qarari lost his life. The Qaqshals and Ma'sum Khan lured Muzaffar Khan out of the fort of Tandah upon a solemn assurance of safety, and then put him to death with all sorts of tortures. And making his goods and chattels the fund from which they drew in inducing people to join them, they collected a force. So the whole of the province of Bengal and Bihar fell into their hands, and they collected a large force of horsemen and foot-soldiers. They released from prison Mirza Sharaf-ud-din Husain, whom the Emperor had sent from the prison of Qasim 'Ali Khan Baqqal governor of Kabul to Bengal, and made him their general.
