I–II 175.1.7 - **Language:** English ### [175.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.7) A great fight ensued, and a large number of the ill-fated villagers (gāwārān) were killed. The Mirzas after giving them a lesson returned, and M. Askari who had come to complain, was reprehended. His Majesty Jahanbani hastened on to Agra. The provinces were in confusion and sedition raised its head on every side. Next morning his Majesty proceeded to the dwelling of that great exemplar, Mir Rafi, who was sprung from the Safavi Sayyids, and was incomparable for knowledge and wisdom, and was the choice favourite of princes. He took counsel with him, and the final conclusion of his Majesty was that he should go towards the Panjab. If M. Kamran were helped by the sovereignty of reason and auspiciousness, and should bind on himself the girdle of good service and come actively forward to help, the rift of strife might still be closed. With this right intention he proceeded to Lahor. M. Askari went to Sambal and M. Hindal to Alwar. On 18th Muharram (26th May, 1540) Qasim Husain Sultan joined the king near Dihli through the influence of Beg Mirak, and a large body of men collected for the king's service. On the 20th he again set out, and on the 22nd M. Hindal and M. Haidar joined him in Rohtak. On the 23rd his Majesty halted there. The garrison shut the gate of the city in his face, thereby opening the doors of disgrace for themselves. His Majesty addressed himself to the attack and in a short space of time chastised the garrison. - [Previous: 175.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.6) - [Next: 175.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.8) - [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.175.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.1.7) · Pramāṇa
