Raja Todar Mal, Tarsun Muhammad Khan, and the other amirs took up their quarters in Hajipur during the rainy season, and Ma'sum Farankhudi, with their permission, went to Jaunpur, which was his jagir. There he began to show signs of disaffection. His Majesty therefore sent Peshrau Khan, darogha of the farash-khana, to set him at ease; he also gave him the country of Oudh instead of Jaunpur, and bestowed the latter upon Tarsun Khan. Ma'sum spoke dutiful words to Peshrau Khan, and did not show his disaffection; but as Oudh was near, he went there. Niyabat Khan, son of Hashim Khan Naishapuri, who had grown up in the nurture of the Imperial Court, broke out in rebellion in his jagir of Jausa and Payag (Allahabad), and attacked the fort of Karra, which was the jagir of Isma'il Kuli Khan. Ilyas Khan, who was shikkdar of that place for Isma'il Kuli, fought with him and was killed. He then invested the fort of Garha, and began to pillage. This being reported to His Majesty, he sent Isma'il Kuli Khan, * * and several other amirs to repress him. He also sent Raja Birbal and Shah Kuli Khan Mahram to excite the hopes of Ma'sum Khan Farankhudi, and bring him to Court. When Wazir Khan had departed, Khwaja Mansur was released from confinement, and again appointed to the office of diwan.
