76.2
After the Emperor marched from Dehli, Mirza Muhammad Hakim advanced to Lahore, and encamped in the garden of Mahdi Kasim Khan. Kunwar Man Singh, Sa'id Khan, and Raja Bhagwan Das had gone into the fortress. On the Emperor's reaching Panipat, Malik Sani Kabuli, diwan of Mirza Muhammad Hakim, who had the title of Wazir Khan, deserted the Mirza, and came to the Imperial camp. He alighted at the tent of Khwaja Shah Mansur, and made him the channel for offering his services to the Emperor. When Khwaja Shah Mansur announced his arrival, the Emperor's suspicions were aroused, and he thought that the diwan's arriving at the time when his master was invading Hindustan must have some policy in it. He was already suspicious of Mansur, and his doubts were now confirmed. So he dismissed Mansur, and showed him the Mirza's letters. Mansur asseverated (his innocence), but it was of no use.
