933.8.4

When, as has been mentioned, we abandoned the plan (against Rānā Sangā), we moved to subdue Mīwāt. Having made 4 night-halts on the way, we dismounted on the bank of the Mānas-nī[2129] 6 _kurohs_ (12 m.) from Alūr, the present seat of government in Mīwāt. Ḥasan Khān and his forefathers must have had their seat[2130] in Tijāra, but when I turned towards Hindūstan, beat Pahār (or Bihār) Khān and took Lāhor and Dībālpūr (930 AH.-1524 AD.), he bethought himself betimes and busied himself for a residence (_`imārat_) in Fort Alūr (Alwar). His trusted man, Karm-chand by name, who had come from him to me in Āgra when his son (Nāhar _i.e._ Tiger) was with me there,[2131] came now from that son's presence in Alūr and asked [Sidenote: Fol. 326b.] for peace. `Abdu'r-raḥīm _shaghāwal_ went with him to Alūr, conveying letters of royal favour, and returned bringing Nāhar Khān who was restored to favour and received _parganas_ worth several _laks_ for his support. (_g. Rewards to officers._) Thinking, "What good work Khusrau did in the battle!" I named him for Alūr and gave him 50 _laks_ for his support, but unluckily for himself, he put on airs and did not accept this. Later on it [_khẉud_, itself] came to be known that Chīn-tīmūr must have done[2132] that work; guerdon was made him for his renown(?);[2133] Tijāra-town, the seat of government in Mīwāt, was bestowed on him together with an allowance of 50 _laks_ for his support.
