They represented themselves as specially holy men, and gave out \[73\] that they were on their way to Mecca. They entered the city, and assembled below the palace of the governor, called Aziscan ('Aziz Khan), of the Pathan tribe, and demanded alms for themselves, so that they might be able to go on their road. 'Aziz Khan compassionately sent and called them within the fortress, in order to give them food and some help in money, thereby hoping for a reward to his own soul. They came into his presence most devoutly, but resolute to carry out their trick. On drawing near to the governor, they began to pray God to grant him great reward for the alms he had given them. Then, drawing their swords from beneath their cloaks, they cut him to pieces, and gaining possession of the fortress, slew all that were found there. The result of the trick was notified to Humayun, who, marching on without delay, made himself master of Lahor. After a short time he left it, in order to capture the city of Dihli. He fought several battles, the principal one in the neighbourhood of Panipat, three days' journey before arriving at Dihli. There he fought a very stiff battle, and in it the Pathan who called himself king having been killed, Humayun became once more lord of Hindustan, and brought the Pathans under subjection. - [Previous: 59.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.8) - [Next: 59.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.10) - [Up: 59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.9) · Pramāṇa
