3.1.5

Another anecdote related of him is, that, in the time of Sultán Bahlol, when Tátár Khán and Saif Khán, grandees of the State, had rebelled, and seized many districts, the revenues of which they applied to their own private use, it so happened that at the same period Prince Nizám Khán had seized Pánípat without the permission of Sultán Bahlol, and made it a jágír of his own. Certain nobles laid a complaint about this before the Sultán, who caused a farmán to be written to Khwájagí Shaikh Sa'íd, the Prince's díwán, to this effect: "The Prince has behaved thus at your instigation. If you have such a desire to display your courage, take forcible possession of Tátár Khán's estates! What courage do you show when you plunder my territory?"
