That chieftain, in consequence, crossed the Indus, near the city of Bhukkur, with a large army. Mahmood Lunga of Mooltan no sooner heard of this circumstance than he deputed Sheikh Baha-ood-Deen Kooreishy to wait on Hoossein Arghoon, accompanied by Mowlana Bheilole, one of the most learned men of the age. The ambassadors, on reaching Hoossein Arghoon’s camp, were received with all possible politeness. He replied to their remonstrances against his approach, by assuring them that he was only going to Mooltan to carry into effect some new regulations ordered by Babur Padshah, and also to pay his devotions at the shrine of Sheikh Baha-ood-Deen Zacharia. Mowlana Bheilole replied, that there appeared no necessity for his going in person to enforce his regulations; for he had only to express them, and his master would carry them into effect; and that with regard to his visit to the shrine of Sheikh Baha-ood-Deen, he himself had come to anticipate his steps. Hoossein, however, was not to be thus averted from his purpose, but continued his march, and the ambassadors returned. Shortly afterwards, Mahmood Lunga, being seized with the cholic, died, A. H. 931, after a reign of twenty-seven years. - [Previous: 292.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.292.4) - [Next: 293.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.293.1) - [Up: 292](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.292) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.292.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.292.5) · Pramāṇa
