78.1.6

Kambar Beg Ishang Aka now came in from Shahabu-d din, reporting that he had promised to stay at Kari. 'Itimad Khan, Mir Abu Turab, and I, therefore went forth to see Shahabu-d din, to mollify him and bring him back with us. Towards the close of day, 'Itimad Khan set off for Kari. It had been urged upon him that it was not right for the ruler of a city to leave it when the enemy was at a distance of only twelve kos. But it was of no avail. He left his own son with Amir Ma'sum Bakhari and * * * and my son, and started. When he and I reached Kari, we talked with Shahabu-d din, and we reconciled him, upon our promise that the parganas which he had for a long time held in jagir should be relinquished to him, and that he should be paid a subsidy of two lacs of rupees. In fact, all he asked was conceded. Towards close of day, 'Itimad Khan and he set out from Kari, to return to Ahmadabad. On the same day that 'Itimad Khan went to Kari, Muzaffar Gujarati came to Ahmadabad. The men of the city gave him (access to) the fort, and as part of the wall was broken down, he made his way in immediately.
