13.3.7
As finally the affair did not assume an approved form, it occurred to me that, as I had nothing to do at Agra, and I was convinced that until I myself went there the affair would not be set to rights, I left the fort of Agra and alighted at the Dahrah garden. On the next day the festival of the Dasahra took place. According to the usual custom they decorated the elephants and horses, and I had them before me. As the mothers and sisters of Khusrau repeatedly represented to me that he was very repentant of his deeds, the feelings (lit. sweat) of fatherly affection having come into movement, I sent for him and determined that he should come every day to pay his respects to me. I remained for eight days in that garden. On the 28th news arrived that Raja Ram Das, who was doing service in Bangash and the neighbourhood of Kabul with Qilij Khan, had died. On the 1st of the month of Mihr I marched from the garden, and dismissed Khwaja Jahan to look after the capital of Agra and guard the treasure and the palace, and gave him an elephant and a special robe (fargul). On the 2nd Mihr news arrived that Raja Baso had died in the thanah of Shahabad, which is on the border of the territory of Amar. On the 10th of the same month I halted at Rup Bas, which has now been named Amanabad. Formerly this district had been given as jagir to Rup Khawass. Afterwards, bestowing it on Amanu-llah, son of Mahabat Khan, I ordered it to be called by his name. Eleven days were passed at this halting-place.
