Nearly all the counsellors of the emperor deprecated a second invasion of Kashmīr, but Akbar persisted and in July Muhammad Qāsim Khān invaded the country at the head of a large army. On 15 October he entered Srīnagar, the *khutba* was recited in the name of Akbar, and Kashmīr was formally annexed; but Yūsuf’s son, Ya‘qūb Khān, evaded capture and remained in arms for nearly three years longer, until he surrendered to Akbar in August, 1589.
