The Akbarī Generations 67: Arrival of the amirs with an Imperial army at Asir and Burhanpur.

67

It has been mentioned above, that Shahab Khan and other amirs were sent with 10,000 horse against Asir and Burhanpur. When Raja 'Ali Khan heard of the approach of this force, he drew in his horns and crept into his fortress. The amirs entered the country, and did not stop till they reached Bijanagar. Great dissension arose in the country of Asir, and Raja 'Ali Khan was reduced to beg pardon for his offences. He promised the amirs to send suitable tribute and some elephants in charge of his people to the Emperor's Court. At this time, Kutbu-d din Muhammad Khan separated from the other amirs, and went off to Nandurbar and Sultanpur, in consequence of disturbances which had arisen in his jagirs of Broach and Baroda, through the proceedings of Muzaffar Husain. The disorders in Asir and Burhanpur which the amirs had been sent to settle being ended, by the submission of Raja 'Ali and his payment of tribute, the amirs retired to their respective jagirs. When Hakim 'Ainu-l Mulk, who had gone on an embassy to 'Adil the ruler of the Dekhin, returned, he was sent with the elephants and the tribute to the Imperial Court.
