The Akbarī Generations 9.5

When Mir 'Abdu-l Latif communicated this message to Khan-khanan, he listened attentively, and having parted from the Mir, he left Mewat on his way to Nagor. Of all his followers there now remained with him only Wali Beg Zu-l Kadar, his sons Husain Kuli Beg and Isma'il Kuli Beg, who were relations of his, Shah Kuli Mahram, Husain Khan his sister's son, and his son-in-law Mahdi Kasim Khan. Upon reaching Nagor, he sent his banner, kettle-drums, and all other marks of nobility, to the Emperor by the hands of Husain Kuli Beg. The Emperor had left Dehli, and was proceeding towards the Panjab. He had reached the pargana of Jhajhar when Husain Kuli Beg waited upon him. Among the persons present (with the Beg) was Shah Abu-l Ma'ali, who, being mounted on horseback, endeavoured to overtake His Majesty. This greatly offended the Emperor, who ordered the culprit into confinement, and placed him in the custody of Shahabu-d din Ahmad. The surrender of the banner and the other insignia of nobility gratified the Emperor.
