After the death of Jahangir, and before the accession of Shah Jahan, Khan-Jahan Lodi entered upon a dangerous and disloyal course. \* \* He formed an alliance with Nizamu-l Mulk, and gave up to him the Balaghat in the Dakhin, the revenue of which amounted to fifty-five krors of dams. But Sipahdar Khan, who held Ahmadnagar, bravely and loyally refused to surrender that city. Khan-Jahan summoned to his presence all the Imperial servants who were in those parts. He left a small force at Burhanpur under the command of Sikandar Dotani, who was related to him, while he himself marched with a large force to Mandu, with the intention of taking possession of Malwa, which province was then under the government of Mir 'Abdu-r Razzak, who had received the title of Muzaffar Khan. Shah Jahan proceeded from Ahmadabad by way of Ajmir to Agra, and there ascended the throne. \* \* The news of this event awakened Khan-Jahan and brought him to a sense of his folly and wickedness. Raja Gaj Singh, Raja Jai Singh, and other distinguished Rajputs who had accompanied him to Mandu, parted from him when they heard of Shah Jahan having arrived at Ajmir. Thereupon Khan-Jahan wrote a letter of contrition and obedience, in the hope of obtaining forgiveness. A royal farman was sent in answer, informing him that he was confirmed in the governorship of the Dakhin, and directing him to return at once to Burhanpur. - [Previous: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.3) - [Next: 4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.4.2) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.4.1) · Pramāṇa
