But Lutfullah Khan made him wait till he had carried a message to His Majesty. He was given permission to enter on condition of giving up his arms. On hearing this message from Lutfullah Khan, Tahavvar Khan said that he could not give up the sword that this very king had attached to his side. Upon this Lutfullah Khan said he should never enter unless he left his sword, and there was between them some exchange of words. Men collected to hear the cause of dispute, and his blood getting heated, Tahavvar Khan laid hold of his sword to force his way in. But Lutfullah Khan and the others also seized their weapons, and a fight began. Tahavvar Khan, being clad in mail, made no account of them. In a few moments the king heard the disturbance, and shouted out orders to kill the intruder. Trying to escape, Tahavvar Khan became entangled in the horses' heel-ropes and the tent-ropes, and fell to the ground. The others cut off his head. When they told the king that Tahavvar Khan was dead, he issued orders to bury him at the entrance of the tent door. Thus died Tahavvar Khan in trying to make a king of Akbar. - [Previous: 173.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.173.10) - [Next: 173.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.173.12) - [Up: 173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.173) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.173.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.173.11) · Pramāṇa
