About this time the ambassador of 'Abdu-lla Khan with Nazar Be and his sons arrived, and had an interview. Isma'il Kuli Khan and Rai Singh also arrived, bringing with them the chief men and leaders of the Biluchis. A sum of four lacs of tankas, equal to five hundred tumans of 'Irak, was presented as a gift to Nazar Be and his sons. After the feast of the Nauroz was over, Kunwar Man Singh was ordered to go to the support of Raja Todar Mal, who had been sent against the Yusufzai Afghans and others. When the Emperor had settled the course to be pursued with the Afghans, and the affairs of Atak and Kabul, he resolved to return to Lahore, and started on the 24th Rabi'u-s sani. Hunting and amusing himself as he went, he arrived at Lahore on the 18th Jumada-s sani. When Kunwar Man Singh was appointed to the government of Kabul, Isma'il Kuli Khan was sent from the river Behut (Beyah) in command of a strong force against the Yusufzai and other Afghans. An Imperial order was issued to Kunwar Man Singh, that when Isma'il Kuli arrived, the Kunwar was to go on to Kabul. Saiyid Bukhari also was appointed to support Isma'il Kuli, and was directed to occupy Peshawar. Mir 'Arab Bahadur, who had fled for refuge into the hills of Kamaun, and had troubled the inhabitants of the country at the foot of the hills, was killed by the servants of Mir Abu-l Fath in the pargana of Sherkot.
