When this petition reached Bábar Pádisháh, he at once set out, with the intention that if he fell in with Jahángir Mirzá on the road, he would turn him back, or if not, would pursue his brother into Khorásán. \[In either case\] he would not be long in ascertaining what schemes Mirzá Jahángir had in his mind. As soon as the Emperor had resolved on this plan, he came to my father's house, and asked him to undertake the management of Kabul and its dependencies. My father would not accept the invitation, but said, in excuse: "When in Khorásán, I resolved to undertake the Pilgrimage; if I were to bind myself to the measure you propose, my resolution would be to no purpose. Let this business be entrusted to one of your great Amirs, and I will render him assistance to the utmost extent of my ability." The Emperor then sent for Nizám-ud-Din Ali Khalifa Mauláná Bábá Bishághari, Amir Ahmad Kásim Kuhbur, and one or two other of his \[trustworthy\] chiefs, and after complimenting \[my father\], said to him: "I am about to start for Khorásán, having the most perfect reliance on you. These Amirs will conduct the different affairs of the State under your general supervision." Having thus spoken, and after farther compliments, he set out for Khorásán. - [Previous: 117.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.4) - [Next: 118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.118) - [Up: 117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.5) · Pramāṇa
