3.2.6
Hasan Khán's ancestors had made their capital at Tijára. * * * A person named Karm Chand, one of Hasan Khan's head men, who had come to visit Hasan Khán's son while he was a prisoner in Ágra, now arrived from the son, commissioned to ask a pardon. I sent him back, accompanied by 'Abdu-l Rahím Shagháwal, with letters to quiet his apprehensions, and promising him personal safety; and they returned along with Náhir Khan, Hasan Khán's son. I again received him into favour, and bestowed on him a pargana of several lacs for his support. * * * I bestowed on Chín Tímúr Sultán the city of Tijára, which was the capital of Mewat, granting him at the same time a settled provision of fifty lacs. To Tardika, who in the battle with Rånå Sanka commanded the tulughma (or flanking division) on the right, and had distinguished himself more than any other, I gave an appointment of fifteen lacs, with the charge of the fort of Alwár. I bestowed the treasure of Alwár, with everything in the fort, on Humáyún. I marched from this station on Wednesday, the 1st of Rajab, and having come within two kos of Alwar, went and examined the fort, where I stayed all night, and returned back to the camp in the morning.
