On the morning when this occurrence took place, Haji Muhammad ‘Asas came and saluted the Mirza. The latter said ‘How have I gone and how have I come back’! ‘Asas replied “You went in the evening and you came in the morning.” The Mirza went up to the citadel and took up his quarters there. Shamsu-d-din Muhammad Khan Atka brought his Majesty the Shahinshah with all reverence before M. Kamran. The Mirza, on beholding that theatre of miracles involuntarily became gracious and gentle. He shewed him various favours, but from short-sightedness put his Majesty, who was under the shadow of the protection of God, into the charge of his own men. When M. Kamran had brought Kabul into his possession, he practised various kinds of cruelty and opened his hands to shed people’s blood and to seize their property. He caused Mihtar Wasil and Mihtar Wakil, who were special royal slaves, to be blinded. Hisamu-d-din ‘Ali, son of Mir Khalifa, whom his Majesty had summoned to his personal service, and whose fief he had transferred to Ulugh Mirza, had come about this time to Kabul and Kamran in revenge for his firmness at Zamin Dawar had him castrated and put to death in a most horrible manner. - [Previous: 237.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.237.5) - [Next: 237.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.237.7) - [Up: 237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.237) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.237.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.237.6) · Pramāṇa
