(See Vol. V. p. 198.) Akbar-náma, of Shaikh Abu-l Fazl (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 12 - **Language:** English ### [12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.12) \[Text, vol. i. p. 176.\] One of the disgraceful proceedings which recalled Humayun to Agra was the rebellion of Sultan Mirza and Ulugh Mirza his son. It has already been related how they before rebelled, and how an order was given to deprive them of sight. But the party entrusted with this order did not execute it, and they escaped. They now again commenced their rebellious proceedings, and after attacking Bilgram, they went to Kanauj, which was held by the sons of Khusru Kokaltash. These men surrendered, and were replaced in charge of Kanauj. Mirza Hindal, who was in Agra, went out against them, and crossing the Ganges near Bilgram, the armies met, and a battle ensued, in which the rebels were defeated. Hindal pursued, and overtook them at Oudh, where Ulugh Beg and his sons were assembled and ready to fight again. The news of the Emperor’s return from Gujarat to Agra now arrived, and the rebels fought once more, and were defeated. Hindal then returned victorious to Agra. - [Previous: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.11) - [Next: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.12) · Pramāṇa
