The discussion was protracted, but no profitable decision was arrived at; in fact, nothing was proposed that was worthy of the occasion, for as it is said, "When Fortune's adverse, minds are perverse." Kamran Mirza was very anxious to return, but Humayun disregarded all his representations. Seven months were wasted in weary indecision, until the opportunity was lost, and Sher Khan was on the Ganges ready for war. In the midst of this confusion Kamran Mirza became very ill. The climate of Hindustan had brought on some serious disorders. When he had thus suffered for two or three months, he lost the use of his hands and feet. As no medicine or treatment relieved him, he became the more desirous of departing to Lahore. At length his maladies so increased, that he made up his mind to return thither. This departure of Kamran Mirza was the turning-point in the rise of Sher Khan and the downfall of the Chaghtai power. The Emperor greatly urged him to leave some of his officers and forces as auxiliaries, but Kamran Mirza, on the contrary, did all he could to induce all the men of Agra to go away with him, and strenuously rejected the proposal to leave his own army behind. Mir Khwaja Kalan, who was his prime minister, also exerted himself to the same purpose. Kamran Mirza sent him on in advance, and then followed in person. - [Next: 1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-elliot.1.2) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-elliot.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-elliot.1.1) · Pramāṇa
