The Maulana sent one of his own servants to Jam Bayazid, and said in reply, "God forbid that a man should ever look upon the women of his friend ; moreover, such sentiments are unworthy of my advanced age." Jam Bayazid replied that he had no knowledge of the imputed message. The Maulana being much embarrassed at this, cursed the person that sent the message to him, saying, "May his neck be broken!" and returned to his home without even seeing Jam Bayazid, who was not informed of his departure until he had actually left his dominions. It so happened that the curse of the Maulana took effect ; for after Shaikh Jalalu-d din came to Shor, having deserted the service of Sultan Sikandar, he chanced one night to miss his footing, when he fell from an upper storey with his head downwards, and literally broke his neck. After the conquest of the Panjab in 930 H. by the late Zahiru-d din Muhammad Babar Badshah Ghazi, that monarch, at the time of his return to Dehli, sent a commission to Mirza Shah Husain Arghun, governor of Tatta, ordering him to take charge of Multan and its neighbouring districts. - [Previous: 92.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.92.2) - [Next: 92.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.92.4) - [Up: 92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.92) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.92.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.92.3) · Pramāṇa
