Upon arriving at his jagir in Multan, Muhibb 'Ali set about collecting men, and got together nearly 400 horse. Relying upon Sultan Mahmud Bakari, he wrote letters to him, and began his march. But Sultan Mahmud was adverse to the entrance of any Imperial forces into his territory, so, disregarding the promises he had made to Nahid Begam, he sent to say that he would not allow Muhibb 'Ali to pass through his country; but that if Muhibb 'Ali would march by way of Jesalmir, he would send his army to him, and render him all the assistance he could. - [Previous: 42.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.2) - [Next: 42.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.4) - [Up: 42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.3) · Pramāṇa
