The Book of Akbar 324.7

324.7

When this unnatural occurrence was made known to the sublime Court, H.M. the Shāhinshāh in the strength of his far-seeing wisdom was not affected by it, and issued orders to the embroiderers of honour's carpet and the battle-field-adorners, that they should set forth in a propitious hour and chastise that arrogant blockhead. He lighted up the face of royal majesty with the colouring of submission and surrender to the Divine will, and cast the shadow of favour on the management of the affairs of world-government. As his mind was not satisfied about the matter of Sikandar, he left a force under the charge of Khizr Khwāja Khān, who belonged to the race of the rulers of Moghulistān, and who having been exalted by an alliance with the sublime family, was highly honoured among the Amīrs, to put order into the distracted affairs of the Punjab and to quell the disturbances caused by Sikandar. He then addressed himself to the overthrowal of Hemū.
