Kamran laid aside his state, and intended to escape by the route of Zohak and Bamyan, through the desert of the Hazaras towards Sind; but Kurrachar Khan and Hoossein Koolly Sooltan, who remained in Hoomayoon's camp, wrote to him privately, and acquainted him with all that passed at the King's court. As the greatest part of Hoomayoon's troops were detached from his person, these officers advised Kamran to attack Hoomayoon, promising to join him in the action. Kamran, availing himself of these overtures, returned by the Kupchak pass to Kabul, where he was opposed by Hoomayoon. Kurrachar Khan and his adherents went over to Kamran Mirza in the commencement of the action, according to their promise, and attacked the division in which Hoomayoon commanded, who with a few faithful retainers fought with desperation. Peer Mohamed Akta and Ahmud, the son of Hoossein Koolly Sooltan, were killed by the side of the King, who himself received a sabre wound in the head. At this time, too, his horse failing him, he forced to quit the field, and fled to Bamyan, from whence he proceeded to Budukhshan. Kamran Mirza thus obtained possession of Kabul the third time. - [Previous: 62.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.62.2.7) - [Next: 62.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.62.3.1) - [Up: 62.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.62.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.62.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.62.2.8) · Pramāṇa
