Leaving Mu'nim Khan Khan-khanan in charge of Agra, the capital, and Muzaffar Khan in direction of the diwani, on the 3rd Jumada-l awwal, 974 H., he began his march. In ten days he reached Dehli, and went to visit the shrines of the saints who there repose, and bestowed his royal bounty on the poor and needy. From thence he proceeded by regular marches to Sirhind. He was greatly pleased with the bazars of this town, and commended Hafiz Rakhna, who was the shikkdar, and placed the sarkardari of that place in his charge. After crossing the Jumna, he received intelligence of the flight of Mirza Muhammad Hakim, but he went on joyfully to Lahore. Upon approaching the city, the great amirs, who had exhibited their loyalty and devotion, came forth to meet him, and received distinguished marks of royal favour. In the month of Rajab he arrived at Lahore, the daru-s saltanat, and took up his abode in the house of Mahdi Kasim Khan, in the citadel. By command of His Majesty, Kutbu-d din Muhammad Khan and Kamal Khan Gakhar went in pursuit of Mirza Muhammad Hakim, and advanced beyond the pargana of Bahra. There they learnt that the Mirza had crossed the Indus, so they returned. - [Previous: 31.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.31.6) - [Next: 32.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.32.2) - [Up: 32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.32) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.32.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.32.1) · Pramāṇa
