43.2

But when His Majesty went on his campaign in Gujarat, Yusuf escaped from his prison in Agra, and wrested Gorakpur from the hands of the men of Payinda Muhammad Bangash. When Mun’im Khan was informed of this, he immediately ordered Khan Muhammad Basudi and Payinda Muhammad Bangash to repress the revolt. He himself also marched from the town of Muhammadabad along with Muhammad Kuli Khan Birlas, Majnun Khan Kakshal, and some other nobles. But on the march Majnun Khan, with all the Kakshals, parted from him. The reason of this defection was, that false statements had been made to Majnun Khan, that Baba Khan Jabbari, Mirza Muhammad Shah, and the other Kakshals who had accompanied the Emperor on the campaign in Gujarat, had killed Shahbaz Khan, and had gone over to join the Mirzas. In consequence of this, it was asserted that an order had arrived for the arrest of Majnun Khan. The Khan-khanan sent officers to re-assure Majnun Khan, and to bring him with them. But their efforts were in vain, until letters arrived from Baba Khan detailing the favours received from His Majesty, and the services he had rendered in the campaign. Ashamed of his suspicions, Majnun Khan returned and rejoined the army of Khan-khanan; but before he arrived, Khan-khanan had accomplished the reduction of Gorakpur.
