I–II 128.2 - **Language:** English ### [128.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.128.2) Now when he beheld the face of his deeds in the mirror of recompense, and fortune had turned away her countenance from his worthless self, his Majesty from perfect humanity and excessive generosity, did not exercise retaliation, but gave orders that he should carry away as much of his property as he desired and go off to Khurasan. So he took five or six strings of mules and camels, laden with jewelry and gold ornaments and went off to Khurasan. And his Majesty Giti-sitani Firdaus-makani having put Badakhshan into order, went to Kabul. At that time Muhammad Muqim, son of Zu-n-nun Arghun had taken Kabul from 'Abdu-razzaq Mirza, son of Ulugh Beg Mirza, son of Sultan Abu Sa'id Mirza, who was his Majesty's cousin. On hearing the noise of the coming of the victorious standards, he fortified himself, but after some days he sought for peace and obtained permission to go to his brother Shah Beg in Qandahar with his property. Kabul fell into the hands of his Majesty's servants in the end of Rabi'u-l-awwal 910 (beginning of October 1504). After that his Majesty proceeded in 911 to capture Qandahar, and Qilat (Khelat) which is a dependency of Qandahar was conquered. After that, for reasons of state policy, he abandoned the taking of Qandahar and went south and having attacked the Afghan tribes of Sawasang and Alatagh, returned to Kabul. - [Previous: 128.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.128.1) - [Next: 128.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.128.3) - [Up: 128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.128) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.128.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.128.2) · Pramāṇa
