The Akbarī Generations 50.1.1

50.1.1

When the Emperor had settled the affairs of Gujarat, and had returned to his capital, the disaffected and rebellious men, who had crept into corners and hidden themselves in dread of the royal forces, once more raised their heads. Having assembled round Ikhtiyaru-l Mulk, they got possession of Ahmadnagar and the surrounding territory. Muhammad Husain Mirza left the Dekhin with the intention of attempting the recapture of Surat. Kalij Khan, who was jagirdar of the fort, made it secure, and prepared for a siege; so Husain Mirza gave up the project, and made a rapid march upon Kambay. Hasan Khan Karkarah, the shikkdar, being unable to make any resistance, fled to Ahmadabad. Khan-i 'azam sent Naurang Khan and Saiyid Ahmad Bukhari against the Mirza, while he himself marched to Ahmadnagar and Idar against Ikhtiyaru-l Mulk. When Naurang Khan and Saiyid Bukhari approached Kambay, Muhammad Husain Mirza came out to meet him. Sharp fighting went on for several days, and Saiyid Jalal, son of Saiyid Bahau-d din Bukhari, was killed. At length the Mirza was worsted, and fled to join Ikhtiyaru-l Mulk. 'Azam Khan, who had marched against Ikhtiyaru-l Mulk, took a position near Ahmadnagar. He several times attacked him, and fighting went on for several days between Ahmadnagar and Idar with no decisive result.
