The Book of Akbar 240.5

240.5

His horse became unmanageable and carried him as far as the Violet-Garden. He was made prisoner and brought before his Majesty who granted him his life, but sent him to prison. Muhammad Qasim and Muhammad Husain who were sisters' sons of Pahlwan Dost Mir Barr and who are now among the great officers, and have attained to high rank, threw themselves down from a bastion between the Iron Gate and the bastion of Qasim Birlas, and in the ‘Aqabin received the blessing of doing homage and like a brace of eagles (‘aqabin) clutched the prey of everlasting good fortune. While this fighting was going on a large caravan arrived from abroad (wilayat) at Carxkaran. There were many horses in it and other goods. M. Kamran sent Sher 'Ali with a body of trusty adherents to take possession of those goods, though Tardi Muhammad Jang Jang, who was one of the Mirza’s trusted followers, protested, and plainly said that if his Majesty Jahanbani should hear of it and send his men and block their way so that they should not be able to rejoin the Mirza, they would be lost, and at the same time the Mirza’s purpose would not be affected. The Mirza had his eyes fixed on the goods and would not receive this warning, and sent his men under the leadership of Sher ‘Ali. As soon as the news reached his Majesty Haji Muhammad Khan was appointed to the service of restraining those tyrants from their plunder.
