The History of Fīrūz Shāh (ʿAfīf) 51: Fourteenth Mukaddama. — Peace with the People of Thatta.

51

When the people of Thatta made up their minds to seek for peace, they determined upon making their overtures through Saiyid Jalalu-d din. The Jam and Babiniya, after consideration, sent a confidential agent to Uch to make known their views. Saiyid Jalalu-d din started, and when he reached the Sultan's camp all the army turned out to show their reverential respect. * * * On his arrival the Sultan went forth to meet him and brought him with due honour into his camp. After they had met and shaken hands, the Saiyid said there was a holy woman in Thatta whose prayers had prevented the conquest of the place, * * * but she had now been dead three days, and consequently the submission might be expected. The inhabitants of Thatta heard that the Saiyid was in the Sultan's camp, and they sent messages to him representing their great distress, and the Saiyid communicated to the Sultan all the matters which in the sorrow of their hearts they had made known to him. This excited the commiseration of the Sultan.
The state of affairs having thus been made known to the Sultan, Babiniya consulted with the Jam, and said that it had been stated to the Sultan that all the disturbance (shor) had arisen through him (Babiniya) ; it therefore seemed in every way most desirable that he should go first to the Sultan and make his submission ; the Jam might follow, and a way might thus be opened for a satisfactory conclusion. This proposition of Babiniya's pleased the Jam. He gave him permission to proceed, and next day Babiniya reached the royal camp.
