less one fled from the imperial array. In 939, when Biban and Bayazid the Afghans rose in rebellion, his Majesty proceeded to the eastward. Bayazid was killed in battle against the warlike heroes and this rubbish was cleared away, and Jaunpur and the neighbouring territories, having been given to Sultan Junaid Barlas, his Majesty returned to the capital.
As the echo of his Majesty’s victories and conquests was high-sounding in various kingdoms, Sultan Bahadur, the ruler of Gujrat, sent, in 940, experienced ambassadors bearing valuable presents to him and set in motion the processes of friendship. His Majesty received his overtures with imperial kindness and set his heart at rest by sending him diplomas of amity. In the same year, a city was founded on the banks of the Jumna, near Delhi, which received the name of Dinpanah. One of the learned of the Age found the chronogram Shahr-i-pādshāh-i-dīnpanāh (City of the King, Defender of the Faith=940). After that, Muhammad Zaman Mirza and Muhammad Sultan Mirza with his son, Ulugh Mirza, took the path of hostility and rebellion. His Majesty turned the reins of resolution against them and encamped on the Ganges near Bhujpur. Yadgar Nasir Mirza was sent across the river with a large force against the rebels, and by Divine help, he gained a victory. Muhammad Zaman Mirza, Muhammad Sultan Mirza and Wali Khub Mirza were made prisoners. Muhammad Zaman was sent to Biana and the other two were blinded and thereby cast down from the pillar of respect. Muhammad Zaman Mirza did not recognize the kindness with which he had been treated, but got out of prison by presenting a forged order. He then fled to Gujrat to Sultan Bahadur.
Many of the delightful countries of India which had not been conquered in the time of his Majesty Gītī-sitānī Firdūs-makānī on account of want of leisure and shortness of time were subdued by his (Humāyūn's) arm of dominion and strength of fortune.
