There were also Firuz Khan, Shaikh Bayazid, Mahmud Khan Lohani, Qazi Jia, who were amongst the famous sirdars, and who entered the service and obtained their desires. Firuz Khan received a jagir from Jaunpur of one kror odd of tankas. Shaikh Bayazid one kror from Oudh; Mahmud Khan 90 lakhs from Ghazipur. Qazi Jia had an assignment of 20 lakhs from Jaunpur. In a short time, there was peace and comfort and joy and pleasure and such prosperity as belongs to a permanent government. Some days after the ‘Id of Shawwal, there was a great feast at Agra, in the palace of Sultan Ibrahim when a treasury of gifts was showered into the lap of the public. Sambal was assigned to Jahanbani, in addition to Sarkar Hisar-firiiza which formerly had been given him as the reward of valour. Amir Hindu Beg was appointed as his deputy to preside over that district. As Biban had besieged the fort of Sambal, the aforesaid Amir, Kita Beg, Malik Qasim, Baba Qashqa with his brothers and Malla Apaq, Shaikh Ghuran and his soldiers from the middle Duab were rapidly sent there. Biban engaged them and was defeated and as that seditious and disloyal one (harami-nimak) after having experienced the sweets of service, had out of evil nature turned his back, never again did he behold fortune's face.
