Nizam-ud-din Ahmad said : “ Although the Amirs in their usual talk say : ‘We ourselves are sufficient’; yet in the language of present facts they say : ‘Victory follows on the footsteps of the Emperor.’ ” Accordingly the Emperor left the prince Sultan Salim with Rajah Bhagwan Das and Qazi ‘Ali Mirbakhshi in the camp, and travelling express at the rate of twenty cosses a day arrived at a place called Surkhab, fifteen cosses from the camp of Prince Murad. Then Mirza Muhammad Hakim at seven cosses from Kabul, at a place called Khurd-kabul had a severe engagement with his nephew, who was like the king’s son in the game of great chess. The Mirza at last took to flight with the intention of taking refuge with Abd-ullah Khan Uzbek. Prince Murad entered Kabul. - [Previous: 79.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.79.6.1) - [Next: 79.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.79.6.3) - [Up: 79.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.79.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.79.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.79.6.2) · Pramāṇa
