I–II 358.3 - **Language:** English ### [358.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.358.3) We shall grant him whatever place and whatever extent of land he may wish for in India, so that his servants may remit him the proceeds, harvest by harvest and year by year.” On 18 Ardibihisht, Divine month of the above-mentioned year (22nd April) corresponding to Tuesday 26 Rajab, the standards of glory were planted at the town of Jhajhar. In the meanwhile Shah Abu-al-M‘aali, who was a repository of strife and sedition, arrived with his evil ideas at the sublime court, in order that, as he could not do anything outside, he might effect something under the disguise of service. But whoever cherishes evil thoughts against God’s chosen one, is his own ill-wisher, and his affairs worsen daily. In order to refresh my narrative I shall here give a short account of Abu-al-M‘aali from the time of his escape from Pahlwan Gulgaz kotwal’s custody in Lahore, already described, till now. When Shah Abu-al-M‘aali escaped from Lahore in the first year of the Divine Era by his own craft, and the carelessness, or avarice and treachery of his custodians, he, by the contrivance of wise Kashmiri, who served him, conveyed himself to the country of the Ghakars. There he was imprisoned by the landowner Kamal Khan. By his trickery he managed to escape and arrived at Naushahra, which is a town between Bhimbhar and Rajauri. The Kashmiris who had seceded from Ghazi Khan, the ruler of Kashmir, came there, and about 300 Moghals, who are always opportunists and ingrates, joined them. - [Previous: 358.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.358.2) - [Next: 358.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.358.4) - [Up: 358](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.358) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.358.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.358.3) · Pramāṇa
