I–II 177.1 - **Language:** English ### [177.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.177.1) He made Luhri his residence when his Majesty left him at Bhakkar. Twice did the garrison attack him by surprise, and, willing or unwilling, the Mirza showed courage in these engagements. Muhammad 'Alī Qābūzī (i.e., door-keeper) and Sher-dil, both of them related to Mun'im Khan, bravely drained the wholesome cup of martyrdom. On a third occasion, they (the enemy) had the daring to leave their boats and draw up their forces on the sands. On this occasion the Mīrzā's men showed such superiority that nearly 300 or 400 of the enemy were killed, and the hot sand was saturated with the evil blood of those victims. Such fear fell upon the enemy that they did not again venture to come out. Mlrza Shah Husain increased his craft and led the Mirza out of the straight path. He sent his seal-bearer, Babar Quli, to him, representing that he was old and had no sympathiser, that he would give him his daughter in marriage and make over his treasures to him, that he did not wish to spend uselessly the few remaining days of his borrowed life, and that they two together might conquer Gujrat. In fine he deceived that simpleton by lying promises, and the latter being void of understanding and crooked in thought, stained his forehead with disloyalty. - [Previous: 176.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.176.5) - [Next: 177.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.177.2) - [Up: 177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.177) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.177.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.177.1) · Pramāṇa
