I–II 335.1 - **Language:** English ### [335.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.335.1) Before the arrival of the news of the disaffection of M. Sulaimān and of his designs upon Kābul, H.M. the Shāhinshāh had directed that the veil of chastity Miriam-Makānī, and the other secluded ladies of the holy Harem should come to India, and a reference to this order has already been made. But on account of the Mirzā’s disturbance the coming of the ladies was suspended. A cautious order was sent to Mun‘im K., that when M. Sulaimān’s sedition had been suppressed, the ladies should set out for the capital. After the disturbance caused by the Mirzā had, by God’s help, been put down, and the minds of the imperial servants were at ease on that score, as has already been narrated, the chaste ladies proceeded to arrange for moving to India, partly to fulfil their vows, and partly to carry out the directions of H.M. the Shāhinshāh. The families of many of the soldiers who were serving in the army also joined the cortége. But as the disturbance of Hēmū was known to the evil-disposed in those regions, the sacred journey did not come into effect. But when the news of victory placed a stain on the darkened brows of the disaffected, and the head of Hēmū was brought and hung up on the iron gate of Kābul, the drums of joy beat high, and after thanksgiving and rejoicing, the expedition set out in a propitious hour. - [Previous: 334](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.334) - [Next: 335.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.335.2) - [Up: 335](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.335) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.335.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.335.1) · Pramāṇa
