That fortress still remained in possession of Soheil Khan, an officer of Sulim Shah, the son of Sheer Shah, who held it for Mahomed Shah Adily. Soheil Khan, hearing of Akbur's intentions, wrote to Ram-Sa, a descendant of Raja Man-Sing, saying, that as his ancestors had been masters of Gualiar, and as he was not capable of holding the place against the King, he would put it into the possession of the Raja for a reasonable sum. Ram-Sa availed himself of this offer, and moved towards the fort; but Yekbal Khan, who possessed an estate in the neighbourhood of Gualiar, having raised his vassals, attacked and defeated the Hindoo chief, who fled into the dominions of the Rana. After which Yekbal Khan having invested Gualiar, Soheil Khan surrendered it into his hands. In the course of the same year, Khan Zuman, in order to recommend himself, and to effect a reconciliation with the King, after all that had happened regarding the trooper, marched with his troops and subdued all the districts near Joonpoor and Benares, which till then remained in the hands of the adherents of the Afghan dynasty. - [Previous: 63.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.4) - [Next: 63.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.6) - [Up: 63.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.5) · Pramāṇa
