The Akbarī Generations 71: Campaign against Rana Kika.

71

His Majesty's mind was always intent upon clearing the land of Hindustan from the troubles and disturbances created by infidels and evil men. He sent Shahbaz Khan Mir-bakhshi * * and several other amirs, against Rana Kika, to ravage and occupy his country. Shahbaz Khan accordingly laid the country waste, and pursued the Rana into the mountains and jungles. Upon reaching the fort of Kombalmir, Shahbaz Khan laid siege to it, and captured it in a few days. The Rana made his escape from the fort by night.
Sultan Khwaja, whom His Majesty had appointed Mir-i haj, now returned from Mecca, and waited upon him with presents — fabrics and stuffs of Turkey and of Europe, Arab horses, Abyssinian slaves, holy relics, and curiosities. These His Majesty accepted with much satisfaction, and he raised Sultan Khwaja to the mansab of Sadr (chief judge). As it had been determined to send a leader of the pilgrims every year, Khwaja Muhammad Yahya * * was now appointed, and he received four lacs of rupees for expenses.
At the end of this year, 987, intelligence arrived of the death of Khan-jahan, the ruler of Bengal. His Majesty was much grieved, and sent a letter of condolence to Isma'il Khan, the brother of the deceased. Muzaffar Khan, who had been appointed diwan, was promoted to be governor of Bengal, Rizwi Khan to be bakhshi, and Hakim Abu-l Fath and Patar Das to discharge jointly the office of diwan.
