[Text, vol. i. p. 153.] (In the year 940 H., 1533-4 A.D.), Muhammad Zamán Mírzá, Muhammad Sultán Mírzá, with his son Ulugh Mirza, broke out in rebellion, and Humayun marched against them. He encamped at Bhojpur, by the side of the Ganges, and sent Yadgar Nasir Mirza over the river at the head of a force against the rebels. Yadgar attacked them, gained a victory, and took Muhammad Zaman Mirza, Muhammad Sultan Mirza, and Wali Khub Mirza prisoners. Muhammad Zaman Mirza was sent prisoner to Bayana, the other two persons were blinded and sent away in disgrace. Muhammad Zaman Mirza, unmindful of the mercy shown him, pretended to be submissive, and, effecting his escape, fled to Sultan Bahadur, of Gujarat.
