933.9.4

After the treasure had been shared out,[2156] Rānā Sangā's great affair intervened before districts and _parganas_ were apportioned. During the respite now from Holy-war against the Pagan (Sangā), this apportionment was made. As the Rains were near, it was settled for every-one to go to his _pargana_, get equipment [Sidenote: Fol. 329b.] ready, and be present when the Rains were over. (_o. Misconduct of Humāyūn._) Meantime news came that Humāyūn had gone into Dihlī, there opened several treasure-houses and, without permission, taken possession of their contents. I had never looked for such a thing from him; it grieved me very much; I wrote and sent off to him very severe reproaches.[2157] (_p. An embassy to `Irāq._) Khwājagī Asad who had already gone as envoy to `Irāq and returned with Sulaimān _Turkmān_,[2158] was again joined with him and on the 15th of Sha`bān (_May 17th_) sent with befitting gifts to Shāh-zāda T̤ahmāsp. (_q. Tardī Beg khāksār resigns service._) I had brought Tardī Beg out from the darwīsh-life and made a soldier of him; for how many years had he served me! Now his desire for the darwīsh-life was overmastering and he asked for leave. It was given and he was sent as an envoy to Kāmrān conveying 3 _laks_ from the Treasury for him.[2159] (_r. Lines addressed to deserting friends._)
