Āsaf Khān and his brother soon had cause to repent having placed themselves under the protection of Khān Zamān, who employed the former on arduous duties and detained the latter in prison as a hostage for his brother. With considerable difficulty, and not without having recourse to arms, they succeeded in effecting their escape and fled to Karā, where they were received by Majnūn Khān. From Karā, Vazīr Khān went to court, to seek the emperor’s forgiveness for his brother. Akbar was now at Lahore, where Vazīr Khān made his submission and was graciously received. Āsaf Khān was instructed to remain with Majnūn Khān at Mānikpur or Karā and was informed that he would be received when the court returned to Āgra.
