The latter repaired at once to the pavilion of his brother, and on seeing each other, the eyes of the brothers filled with tears. Hindál Mirzá received forgiveness for his offences, and then came and waited upon the Emperor. Muhammad Sultán Mirzá and his sons, who had for a long time been engaged in rebellion, also came in and joined them. Consultations were held. Mírzá Kámrán was desirous of returning to Lahore, and showed unbounded expectations. The Emperor assented to all his extraordinary propositions. Khwája Kalán Beg exerted himself to bring about the return of Mírzá Kámrán. The negociations went on for six months. Meanwhile Mírzá Kámrán had been attacked with severe sickness, and some designing persons had instilled into his mind the belief that his illness was the result of poison administered to him by the Emperor's directions. So, ill as he was, he started for Lahore, having sent on Khwája Kalán Beg in advance. He had promised to leave a considerable portion of his army to assist his brother at Agra; but in spite of this promise he carried all off with him, excepting only 2000 men whom he left at Agra under the command of Sikandar. Mírzá Haidar Doghlát Kashmírí, who had accompanied Kámrán, remained with His Majesty, and was received into favour. Kámrán also took away with him many of the soldiers of Agra.
