I–II 272.3 - **Language:** English ### [272.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.272.3) As the tribes had scattered here and there, it was not known in which the Mirza was. In this time of perplexity, Maham ‘Ali Quli Khan and Baba Khizri who were on the way from M. Kamran to Malik Muhammad of Mandraur, fell into the hands of the royal servants. They asked in which tribe the Mirza was. Maham ‘Ali led the inquirers astray and indicated a tribe other than that in which the Mirza was. Baba said, “He is frightened, he does not know what he is saying. The Mirza is in such and such an encampment and I will show the way.” The advance-guard reached the place at early dawn, attacked it, sent many to the abode of annihilation and captured a number of women and children. Some of the heroes entered the tent where the Mirza was sleeping, and Sijah Quli Niranji declares that he was one of them and that there were two persons within. One of them was caught and the other contrived to escape. In the morning, it was seen that the captive was Beg Muluk whom the Mirza always kept in his sight, and that it was the Mirza who had gone out. Some of the vagabond Afghans, such as Shaikh Yusuf Kararani and Malik Sangi, stood up to fight and then flung the dust of disgrace on themselves by running away. Their goods fell into the hands of the royal servants. The victory was won before the arrival of the royal standards. The Mirza was not able to remain in those parts and went to India. - [Previous: 272.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.272.2) - [Next: 272.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.272.4) - [Up: 272](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.272) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.272.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.272.3) · Pramāṇa
