932.15.2

Yūnas-i-`alī when on his way from Dihlī to Āgra[1933] had lost his way a little and got separated from Humāyūn; he then met in with `Alī Khān _Farmūlī's_ sons and train,[1934] had a small affair with them, took them prisoners and brought them in. Taking advantage of this, one of the sons thus captured was sent to his [Sidenote: Fol. 296b.] father in company with Daulat-qadam _Turk's_ son Mīrzā _Mughūl_ who conveyed royal letters of favour to `Alī Khān. At this time of break-up, `Alī Khān had gone to Mīwāt; he came to me when Mīrzā _Mughūl_ returned, was promoted, and given valid(?) _parganas_[1935] worth 25 laks. (_g. Action against the rebels of the East._) Sl. Ibrāhīm had appointed several amīrs under Muṣṯafa _Farmūlī_ and Fīrūz Khān _Sārang-khānī_, to act against the rebel amīrs of the East (_Pūrab_). Muṣṯafa had fought them and thoroughly drubbed them, giving them more than one good beating. He dying before Ibrāhīm's defeat, his younger brother Shaikh Bāyazīd—Ibrāhīm being occupied with a momentous matter[1936]—had led and watched over his elder brother's men. He now came to serve me, together with Fīrūz Khān, Maḥmūd Khān _Nuḥānī_ and Qāẓī Jīā. I shewed them greater kindness and favour than was their claim; giving to Fīrūz Khān 1 _krūr_, 46 _laks_ and 5000 _tankas_ from Jūnpūr, to Shaikh Bāyazīd 1 _krūr_, 48 _laks_ and 50,000 _tankas_ from Aūd (Oude), to Maḥmūd Khān 90 _laks_ and 35,000 _tankas_ from Ghāzīpūr, and to Qāẓī Jīā 20 _laks_.[1937]
