"The Sultán returned to Dehlí in the month Jumáda-l awwal. He then changed the territory of Mahmúd Hasan, giving him charge of Hisár Fírozah, and transferring Multán to Malik Rajab Nádirah. Muhammad Khán [son of Auhad Khán] having escaped with his family, fled to Mewát, where several of his scattered "followers rejoined him. There he learnt that Malik Mukbil [the governor] had marched with his army towards Mahawan, leaving Malik Khairu-d din Tuhfa in the fort, and the town empty [of soldiers]. Muhammad Khan seized the opportunity, and being supported by several zamindars of Bayana, he went there with a small force. Most of the people of the town and country joined him. Unable to hold the fort, Malik Khairu-d din capitulated, and went to Dehli.
