50.1.4

When several amirs with their troops had been set in motion for Gujarat, he bestowed the title of Khan-jahan upon Husain Kuli Khan, who had rendered good service, and he increased his jagirs and allowances. He confirmed to him the government of Lahore and the sarkar of the Panjab, and then dismissed him to his duty. Each person who sought for an increase of dignity, or for an increase of his allowances, met with a favourable hearing. Raja Todar Mal was ordered to join Khan-jahan Husain Kuli Khan, and to give him and the amirs of the Panjab the benefit of his experience and advice in the management of the province. All the amirs of the Panjab took their leave with Khan-jahan, excepting Mirza Yusuf Khan. The Mirza and Muhammad Zaman, who exhibited great intelligence, were to accompany the Emperor. Sa'id Khan, the ruler of Multan, was sent to his jagir, taking with him his brother Makhsus Khan, who had been promoted. In the early morning of Sunday, 24th Rabi'u-l akhir, 981, the Emperor, with his companions and attendants, mounted swift she-camels, and took their departure. On that day he rode to the town of Toda without drawing rein. There he ate what he could get, and continued his journey. On the morning of Monday, he took a short rest at Hans-mahal, but quickly resumed his journey. One watch of the night of Tuesday had passed, when he reached the village of Mu'izabad. He was now fatigued, and several of his attendants had dropped behind, so he stayed a few hours to take rest.
