Mirza Kamran now sued for peace, and the Emperor granted it, upon condition of his making personal submission. But he was afraid to do this, and sought to make his escape. The chiefs of the Chaghatai tribes were of opinion that the capture of Kamran would be adverse to their interests, so they sent a message informing him that Humayun would, in a day or two, assault the fort, and advising him to delay no longer in the place. Kamran, who was offended with Namus Beg and Karracha Khan Beg, killed three young children of Namus Beg in revenge, and had their bodies cast down from the walls of the city — a cruel deed, which excited the abhorrence of all men both inside and outside the city. He also fastened Sardar Beg, the son of Karracha Khan, upon the summit of the ramparts. Humayun exerted himself to console Karracha Khan; and the Khan went close to the fort, and with loud voice declared that if his son were killed, both Mirza Kamran and Mirza 'Askari should be put to death when the city fell. Kamran now despaired on every point, so he caused a hole to be made through the wall, on Khwaja Khizr's side, and made his way out barefoot at the place indicated by the nobles (outside who were friendly to his escape). - [Previous: 1.8.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.5) - [Next: 1.8.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.7) - [Up: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.8.6) · Pramāṇa
