Shah Jahan, having crossed the Nerbadda, kept all the boats on his side, and placed strong guards over the fords. Leaving Bairam Beg Bakhshi with a force of his most trusty soldiers and men of the Dakhin, and with the artillery drawn up by the river, he himself went off towards the fort of Asir and Burhanpur. At this time his men caught a messenger whom Khan-khanan had sent to Mahabat Khan. He sent for the Khan, and showed him the letter taken from the messenger. Khan-khanan endeavoured to excuse himself, but could not give a satisfactory answer. An order was accordingly given that he and Darab and his other sons should be kept under arrest. Rustam Khan, Muhammad Murad, and several others who had abandoned the service of the rebel, and had paid their respects to my dutiful son, according to orders were sent to my Court, and were received by me. Rustam Khan received a mansab of 5000, and 4000 horse. Muhammad Murad a mansab of 1000, and 500 horse, and prospects of future promotion were held out to them.
