Thence came news that it was not right to leave such mischievous persons there, and an order went to Qutbu-d-din Khan to send him to Court, and if he showed any futile, seditious ideas, to punish him. The aforesaid Khan had reason to know him (his character), and with the men he had present, immediately the order arrived, went hastily to Bardwan, which was his jagir. When he (Shir-afgan) became aware of the arrival of Qutbu-d-din Khan, he went out to receive him alone with two grooms. After he arrived and entered into the midst of his army (his camp) the aforesaid Khan surrounded him. When from this proceeding on the part of Qutbu-d-din Khan a doubt arose in his mind, he by way of deceiving him said : " What proceeding is this of thine ? " The aforesaid Khan, keeping back his own men, joined him alone in order to explain the purport of the order to him. Seeing his opportunity he immediately drew his sword and inflicted two or three severe wounds upon him. Amba Khan Kashmiri, who was descended from the rulers of Kashmir and was connected (by marriage ?) with the aforesaid Khan, and had a great regard for him by way of loyalty and manliness, rushed forward and struck a heavy blow on 'Ali Quli's head, and that vicious fellow inflicted a severe wound on Amba Khan with the point of his sword. When they saw Qutbu-d-din Khan in this state, his men attacked him (Shir-afgan), and cut him in pieces and sent him to hell.
