I–II 175.3.2 - **Language:** English ### [175.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.3.2) He represented in reply that he was the servant of Mīrza Shah Husain, and that so long as the latter did not come, it would not be consistent with loyalty for him to present himself, nor could he make over the fort without Shah Husain's permission. Such and such like were the expressions of inability that he used. His Majesty accepted his excuses, and sent Amir Tahir sadr and Mir Samandar, two of his confidential servants, to M. Shah Husain at Tatta, and dignified him by promises of favour. M. Shah Husain received the envoys with respect, and sent Shaikh Mirak, the flower of the descendants of Shaikh Puran whom all the Arghuns reverence and rely upon from old times, as a messenger, and with a suitable present, to accompany the royal ambassadors to the Court. He represented that the district of Bhakkar yielded little, while that of Hajkan was rich and populous and possessed much corn; that it was fitting that his Majesty should turn his reins towards it and take it into his possession, and that in that way the army would be comfortable, and also he (Shah Husain) would be at hand with his service. It was a fortunate and auspicious circumstance for him that his Majesty should now come to those parts, and that in course of time his fears and apprehensions would disappear and he would do himself the honour of paying his respects. - [Previous: 175.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.3.1) - [Next: 175.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.3.3) - [Up: 175.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.175.3.2) · Pramāṇa
