Ibráhím Khán and Sikandar Khán went to Lucknow, full of hostile designs. Khán-zamán and his brother went to Karra Mánikpúr, and there began their revolt. Sháham Khán Jaláïr, Sháh Bidágh Khán, Amír Khán, Muhammad Amín Díwána, Sultán Kuli Khaldár, with all the jágírdárs of his neighbourhood, Sháh Táhir Badakhshí, the brother of Sháh Khalílu-lla, and other nobles, being informed of these rebellious proceedings, marched out against the rebels, and fought against them. In the course of the fighting Muhammad Amín fell from his horse, and was made prisoner by the rebels. Sháham Khán and Bidágh Khán exerted themselves most strenuously, but as the forces of the rebels more than doubled their own, they were obliged to retreat and shut themselves up in the fort of Namíkha, from whence they sent an account to the Emperor.
