Islām Shāh, in camp near the Chenāb, was thus relieved of the menace of this long-standing rebellion, and he now received at his court Kāmrān Mīrzā, fleeing before his brother Humāyūn. The prince was haughtily received, was obliged to humiliate himself before his host, and became the butt of the Afghān nobles, who ridiculed him in Hindī, which he did not understand. Thus goaded he uttered some Persian verses reflecting on the king, and was placed in open arrest, but succeeded in making his escape and took refuge with Sultān Ādam the Gakkhar, who surrendered him to Humāyūn on receiving an assurance that his life should be spared.
