'Abdu-lla Khan Uzbek was governor of Mandu, and as there were sundry differences between him and the Emperor, he was greatly alarmed at his approach, and consequently fled off towards Gujarat. When the Emperor was informed of his flight, he sent Mukim Khan, one of his chief nobles, to 'Abdu-lla, to advise and reassure him. Although Mukim Khan urged and persuaded, his words had no effect, for 'Abdu-lla thought that the object of the Khan was to detain him with words and stories till the royal forces had arrived and secured the roads; so he left Mukim Khan and fled; and the Khan went back and reported his want of success.
