His Majesty received him with great kindness. A party also under the command of Abu-l Hasan, nephew of Karacha Khan, and Munawwar Beg, son of Mir Beg, escaped from the fortress. Mirza 'Askari now lost heart, and proposed to surrender. The Emperor in his great kindness granted him terms. He then called together the Persian commanders, and induced them to engage that for three days no one should molest the numerous Chaghatai families that were in the place. In consequence of this engagement, the garrison of the place came forth next day, with their wives and families. Mirza 'Askari also came out, and with shame waited on the Emperor, who uttered not a word of reproach. The Chaghatai chiefs, with their swords upon their necks and shrouds in their hands, were allowed to present themselves to the Emperor, and were pardoned. It had been agreed with the Persians that as soon as Kandahar was taken it should be given up to them, and now the Emperor gave them possession of it, although he possessed no other territory. Bidagh Khan (and) Mirza Murad, son of Shah Tahmasp, were conducted into the fort, and the place was surrendered to them. Most of the Persian chiefs returned to 'Irak, and no one remained with Mirza Murad except Bidagh Khan, Abu-l Fath Sultan Afshar, and Sufi Wali Sultan Kaddmu.
