78.1.5

'Itimad Khan thought it desirable to have a conference with Shahabu-d din upon the subject; so he sent me, the author of this work, to him. When I saw him, he told me that this band of conspirators had a design against his life, and that they had for a long time been preparing this plot. Now that they had torn the veil from their designs, they would receive no encouragement or help from him. When I reported the state of the case to 'Itimad Khan, he thought it expedient to conciliate the conspirators; so he sent me and two other persons to appease them. But they rejected our overtures, and continued their journey. Shahabu-d din removed and went to Kari, twenty kos from Ahmadabad. We now sent several letters to Shahabu-d din, urging him to delay his departure for a few days; but making no stay, he went on his way. On the 27th Sha'ban, the intelligence arrived that the rebels had come to Dulaka, bringing with them Muzaffar and some Kathiwar people.
