I–II 256.8 - **Language:** English ### [256.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.256.8) Haji Muhammad Khan whose fief was Ghaznin, and on whose heart’s fireplace dissimulation was pre-eminently concocted, recommended a march to Qandahar. This however was not approved of. A number of the right-thinking recommended marching to Badakhshan, and then proceeding to Kabul along with Mirzas Sulaiman, Hindal and Ibrahim. A party of devoted heroes suggested that to-day M. Kamran was intoxicated with the mischievous wine of the hypocrites and narrow-souled ones and off his guard, while they had the good fortune to be at the feet of His Majesty. On what other day would they be successful? The proper thing was that they should all with one heart march to Kabul. There was a confident hope that they would be able to dispose of M. Kamran without going to Badakhshan. As recent evidence had been obtained of the deceit and hypocrisy of very many of the nurslings of the Court, reliance was not put upon this opinion and the cautious course seemed to be to proceed to Badakhshan. Accordingly he ordered a march by the route of Yekka Aulang. At such a time as this Haji Muhammad obtained leave for his brother Shah Muhammad and his men and sent them to Ghaznin! His Majesty with his own holy hand wrote a letter to His Majesty the Shahinshah announcing his safety and made it over to him (Shah Muhammad) in order that he might by every possible means convey it to him. He also sent verbal messages of victory and promises of his coming. - [Previous: 256.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.256.7) - [Next: 256.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.256.9) - [Up: 256](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.256) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.256.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.256.8) · Pramāṇa
