I–II 321.7 - **Language:** English ### [321.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.7) As the latter had ascertained the distress of the populace from the long siege he knocked at the door of peace with onerous conditions. Mun‘im Khan, whose heart had been set on being killed, took pity on himself and on the straits of the besieged and agreed to a peace. As the envoy was a capable man he made it the first condition of peace that the Khutba should be recited in the name of that disgrace to his name, that feeble of understanding, that disrespectful and incapable one! Here Mun‘im Khan left the path of truth according to the plotting of sincerity-professing hypocrites and agreed to such an indignity. The next condition was that the other side of the Baran should belong to Badakhshan, and be the property of the Mirza. Mun‘im Khan agreed to this outwardly, not inwardly, and gave permission to have the Khutba recited in the manner that had been agreed upon, in one of the mosques, and in the presence of a few persons. The Mirza left Muqdim Beg at the river Baran to protect the territory in question and returned to Badakhshan. The return of the Mirza and the ousting of Muqdim Beg, were one and the same thing. Owing to the loyalty of right-thinking servants Kabul was freed from the claws of so many ungrateful men, and received order again from the justice of Mun‘im Khan. The ungrateful Mirza went off to Badakhshan after having prepared the leaven of his own destruction. - [Previous: 321.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.6) - [Next: 321.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.8) - [Up: 321](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.7) · Pramāṇa
