that I had started in pursuit of Khusrau, and that he should consequently dispose of the affairs of the Rana in some way according to the necessity of the time, and for the benefit of the kingdom should himself come quickly to Agra. I had delivered into his charge the capital and treasury, which was equal to the wealth of Qarun, and I had commended him to the God of power. Before this letter reached Parwiz, the Rana had been so humbled that he had sent to Asaf Khan to say that as by his own acts he had come to shame and disgrace, he hoped that he would intercede for him in such a way that the prince would be content with his sending Bagha, who was one of his sons. Parwiz had not agreed to this, and said that either the Rana himself should come or that he should send Karan. Meantime the news of Khusrau's disturbance arrived, and on its account Asaf Khan and other loyalists agreed to the coming of Bagha, who obtained the blessing of waiting on the prince near Mandalgarh. Parwiz, leaving Raja Jagannath and most of the chiefs of his army, started for Agra with Asaf Khan and some of those near to him and his own attendants, and with him brought Bagha to the Court. When he came near Agra he heard the news of the victory over Khusrau and his capture, and after resting two days an order reached him that as matters appeared settled in all quarters he should betake himself to me, in order that on the prescribed date he might obtain the good fortune of waiting on me.
