Muz̤affar \_Gujrātī\_—having gone to Sl. Ibrāhīm after quarrel with his father, had been received without honour. He had sent dutiful letters to me while I was near Pānī-pat; I had replied by royal letters of favour and kindness summoning him to me. He had thought of coming, but changing his mind, drew off from Ibrāhīm's army towards Gujrāt. Meantime his father Sl. Muz̤affar had died (Friday Jumāda II. 2nd AH.-March 16th 1526 AD.); his elder brother Sikandar Shāh who was Sl. Muz̤affar's eldest son, had become ruler in their father's place and, owing to his evil disposition, \[Sidenote: Fol. 302.\] had been strangled by his slave \`Imādu'l-mulk, acting with others (Sha\`ban 14th—May 25th). Bahādur Khān, while he was on his road for Gujrāt, was invited and escorted to sit in his father's place under the style Bahādur Shāh (Ramẓān 26th—July 6th). He for his part did well; he retaliated by death on \`Imādu'l-mulk for his treachery to his salt, and killed some others of his father's begs.\[1960\] People point at him as a dreadnaught (\_bī bāk\_) youth and a shedder of much blood. - [Previous: 932.16.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.16.6) - [Next: 933.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.1.1) - [Up: 932.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.16.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.16.7) · Pramāṇa
