Upon reaching Hajipur, and learning that Abu-l Ma'ali had drawn off to Narnaul, they took Ahmad Beg and Sikandar Beg with them, and went in pursuit of him. Twelve kos from Narnaul, the brother of Abu-l Ma'ali, who was named Khan-zada \[Muhammad\], and was also called Shah Lundan, left his jagir, and was on the way to join his brother, but he was intercepted and made prisoner. Abu-l Ma'ali fled from Narnaul and went towards the Panjab. Ahmad Beg and Sikandar Beg were sent off with a detachment in hot haste after him. A body of the men under their command had formerly served under Mirza Sharafu-d din Husain, and these men had bound themselves by an oath to desert Ahmad Beg and Sikandar Beg whenever Abu-l Ma'ali should be attacked, and to go over to the latter. One of this party, Dana Kuli by name, slipped away and hastened to inform Abu-l Ma'ali of the conspiracy. Upon hearing it he placed himself in ambush in a jungle by the side of the road, and when the two Begs came up he fell upon them unawares. The conspirators then drew their swords, and advanced against their own commanders, and the other soldiers, seeing how matters stood, took to flight. Ahmad Beg and Sikandar were left quite alone. They fought most manfully, and killed several of their assailants, but were eventually slain. - [Previous: 15.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.15.2) - [Next: 15.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.15.4) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.15) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.15.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.15.3) · Pramāṇa
