Nasir, who was also an officer, escaped, though half-dead. At the time when Mirza Khan was sent to Gujarat, His Majesty commanded a city and fort to be built at Payag, at the confluence of the Ganges and Jumna, to which the name of Illahabas was given. His Majesty went there by boat from Agra, and spent four months there pleasantly. * * When intelligence of the killing of Kutbu-d din and the spread of the revolt in Gujarat arrived, His Majesty started for Agra and Fathpur, so that he might set out from the latter place to Gujarat. On reaching Etawa, intelligence of the victory arrived, and so he stayed at Fathpur. He sent farmans to the amirs in Gujarat. To Mirza Khan he gave the title of Khan-khanan, a horse, a robe, a jewelled dagger, and the banner of 5000 (tuman togh). On me, the author, he bestowed a horse, a robe, and increased emoluments. All the officers received marks of his favour.
