244.4.6

Since that which was conceived in the hearts of that faction was not easily carried out, they concerted together, and, assembling before the entrance of the royal tent, represented for the regal consideration, that it was advisable that a mandate should be conveyed to Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam that he should proceed towards his own fief and to this effect they caused a mandate to be conveyed to him ; and, from the halting-place of Hasirah, on Tuesday, the last day of the month of Muharram, 651 H., Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, with his retinue and family and dependents, departed towards Hansi. When the sublime standards returned again to the capital, and the prickings of the thorn of envy towards Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam were afflicting the darkness-filled heart of ’Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan, he, consequently, represented for the royal consideration: “It may be advisable that a command should be issued to Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam to proceed to Nag-awr, and that the Hansi territory should be given in charge to one of the Princes of the Universe”—May God long preserve their lives! In conformity with that counsel the sublime standards moved in the direction of Hansi in order that Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam should depart to Nag-awr; and this undertaking was entered upon in the month of Jamadi-ul-Awwal, 651 H.
