The Sultan (Abu Sa'id) led an army against him (Azun Hasan). Though Azun Hasan proferred peace, it was not accepted and being driven to extremity, he cut off the supplies of corn. Consequently a great famine arose in the camp (of Abu Sa'id) so that for 14 days the royal horses had no barley and as a result of the famine, the soldiers dispersed. Azun Hasan gained the victory and on 22 Rajab, 873 (4th February, 1469), the Sultan fell by fate into the hands of Azun Hasan’s men. Three days afterwards he was made over to Yadgar Muhammad Mirza, son of Sultan Muhammad Mirza, son of Baysanghar Mirza, son of Shahrukh Mirza who was an ally of Azun Hasan. This worthless inauspicious one slew that powerful king on the pretext of the murder of Gauhar Shad Begum who was the wife of Shahrukh Mirza. The words Maqtal-i-Sultan Abu Sa'id (the slaughter-spot of Sultan Abu Sa'id) give the date (873 = 1469). - [Previous: 123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.123) - [Next: 125.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.125.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.124) · Pramāṇa
