When His Majesty had arranged the affairs of Malwa, and settled the matters of the amirs of Asir and Burhanpur, he turned homewards; and, hunting as he went, he arrived at Fathpur on Sunday, 23rd Safar. After three months, troubles arose in Gujarat, through the coming thither of Muzaffar Husain Mirza, son of Ibrahim Mirza, who was son of the daughter of Kamran Mirza. The circumstances of his case are these: When the Emperor was engaged in the siege of Surat, Gulrukh Begam, daughter of Kamran and wife of Ibrahim, carried off her child Muzaffar Husain, as has been related in the account given of the conquest of Ahmadabad. A disaffected man named Mihr 'Ali, a servant of the late Ibrahim Mirza, who accompanied Gulrukh Begam when she fled from Surat to the Dekhin, now stirred up the ambition of Muzaffar Husain, who was fifteen or sixteen years of age. He induced him to leave the Dekhin, and collecting a number of adventurers from all directions, he entered Gujarát, intent upon insurrection.
