Firishta's History (Gulshan-i Ibrāhīmī) 56.10.7

56.10.7

The Prince Hoomayoon having left his brother, Hindal Mirza, to govern in his absence, returned about this time from Kabul to visit his father, and Sooltan Syeed, ruler of Uzkund, taking advantage of this circumstance, invaded Budukhshan. Mirza Heidur Doghlat was sent on in advance. On the approach of the enemy, Hindal Mirza retreated into the fort of Budukhshan, and was besieged therein; but Sooltan Syeed Khan finding he could not reduce the place, and that the inhabitants were not disposed to join him, ravaged the country and returned home. The news of the retreat of Sooltan Syeed not having reached Agra, the government of Budukhshan was conferred on Sooliman Mirza, the son of Khan Mirza, who marched immediately for that province, with a letter from the King to Sooltan Syeed, expressing his surprise at the late hostilities, for which he was unable to account, but by supposing some misconduct on the part of his son Hindal Mirza: the King stated, therefore, that he had sent another person, who was allied to them both, to supply his place. Sooliman Mirza found the country in perfect tranquillity on his arrival, and took quiet possession of the government, which his family have kept to this day, an account of which it is my intention to write at some future period. The Prince Hindal Mirza now came to Agra.
