v4.c15.112

Khān Zamān, much disappointed by perceiving that Akbar’s arrangements were in no way disturbed by the movements of Bahādur and Iskandar, sent a message to Mun‘im Khān, who was favourably disposed towards him, opening negotiations for submission and a pardon. Akbar had little confidence in the genuineness of the rebel’s repentance and not much more in the zeal and loyalty of Mun‘im Khān, but sent Khvāja Jahān, in whom Khān Zamān had confidence, to arrange terms. It was agreed that Khān Zamān should send his mother and his uncle Ibrāhīm to court and that they should be followed, after he had been formally pardoned, by Bahādur and Iskandar. Mun‘im Khān accompanied Khān Zamān’s mother and Ibrāhīm Khān to court, and Khān Zamān was pardoned on condition that he refrained from crossing the Gogra while the imperial troops were in the field.
