I–II 175.1.6 - **Language:** English ### [175.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.6) One of the soldiers who had been saved out of the whirlpool came there and seizing his Majesty's sacred hand drew him up. In truth he then, by help of heaven’s favouring hand, drew to himself fortune and power. His Majesty asked him his name and birthplace. He made answer “My name is Shamsu-d-dīn Muhammad, my birthplace is Ghazni, and I am a servant of M. Kamran.” His Majesty made him hopeful of princely favours. Just then Muqaddam Beg, one of M. Kāmrān’s officers, recognised his Majesty and enrolled himself among those who had received the gospel of good fortune. Acting upon this, he brought forward his horse, and obtained the news of distinction from royal promises. His Majesty proceeded from there towards Agra, and was joined on the way by the Mirzas. When they came to the environs of Bhangāpūr the villagers closed the market against the king's men, and behaved in an unruly manner, attacking every one who fell into their hands. When the august mind was informed of this, M. ‘Askarī, Yādgār Nāsir M. and M. Hindāl were ordered to attack the villains and to chastise them. Nearly 3,000 horse and foot of the insolent knaves had gathered together. When the royal order arrived, M. ‘Askarī delayed to proceed and Yadgar Nasir Mirza gave him some strokes with his whip, saying that it was from his discord that things had come to such a pass. Still he did not take warning, and Yadgar Nasir Mirza and M. Hindal obeyed and went against the crowd. - [Previous: 175.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.5) - [Next: 175.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.7) - [Up: 175.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.6) · Pramāṇa
