The History of Shāhjahān (ʿInāyat Khān) 28.1

28.1

Among the incidents of the past year, the appointment and despatch of Khalilu-lla Khan during the return from Ajmir, with 8000 men, for the purpose of coercing the Zamindar of Srinagar, and capturing the Dun, have been already detailed by the historic pen. The particulars of his advance and return are as follows. When the Khan in question set out with the royal forces, the Zamindar of Sirmor, who had never felt disposed to ally himself with the servants of the crown, came under the guidance of good fortune and joined them. He was then rendered conspicuous among his compeers by the promulgation of an edict from the threshold of empire and sovereignty, investing him with the title of Raja Sabhak Prakas.
