Soon after this, Satri and Jatn, with a party of Afghans, seized the opportunity to take possession of the country of Bakra. This is a populous district, thirty kos long and twenty kos broad, in the vicinity of Mongir, by the river Ganges. When Muzaffar Khan was informed of this outbreak, he marched to suppress it. A sharp action followed, in which Fath Khan, the commander of the insurgents, and seventy-nine of his men, fell. Muzaffar then occupied the country. These successes of Muzaffar Khan made Mun’im Khan Khan-khanan averse to his remaining in that neighbourhood, so he sent an order directing him to repair immediately to Court. * * * * But while Muzaffar was chafing in vexation, a command arrived from the Emperor, ordering him to remain where he was, and carry on his work until recalled by an Imperial order. So he returned joyfully to Hajipur, * * * and shortly afterwards the far-seeing Emperor, appreciating his services and merits, bestowed upon him the wide territory extending from the ford of Chaunsa to Garhi.
