175.2.6

Haidar full of the advantages of conquering Kashmir, and the Mirza used to bring these to his Majesty Jahanbani's notice. His holy heart grew daily more and more eager to visit the charming country of Kashmir, and meanwhile he gave permission to the Mirza to proceed in the first place to Naushahr with a body of troops. If the Kashmiri nobles, who were always urging the expedition, should come forward, Sikandar Tupci, who was a fief-holder in that neighbourhood, was to join him with his troops. When he got to the passes, Amir Khwaja Kalan, who was one of the high officers of his Majesty Giti-sitani Firdaus-makani, and of whom some account has already been given, was to come and help. As soon as the news of Khwaja Kalan Beg's arrival should reach his Majesty Jahanbani he would proceed in person towards that province. His Majesty was on the bank (the right or west bank) of the Cinab when M. Kamran and 'Askari Mirza went off to Kabul with Khwaja 'Abdu-l-haqq and Khwaja Khawand Mahmud. Muhammad Sultan Mirza, Ulugh Beg Mirza and Shah Mirza on hearing, in the territory of Multan, about the separation, joined M. Kamran on the bank of the Indus. In the beginning of Rajab, 947, M. Hindal, Yadgar Nasir Mirza and Qasim Husain Sultan succeeded by importunity in taking his Majesty Jahanbani off to Sind, though his intention had been to march to Kashmir. Khwaja Kalan Beg, who had promised to accompany his Majesty Jahanbani Jannat-ashiyani, went off from Siyalkut and joined M. Kamran.
