v3.c24.115

Ya‘qūb, believing his life to be in danger, fled from the imperial camp at Lahore, and Yūsuf would have gone in person to do homage to Akbar, had he not been dissuaded by his nobles. He was treated as a recalcitrant vassal, and an army under raja Bhagwān Dās invaded Kashmīr. Yūsuf held the passes against the invaders, and the raja, dreading a winter campaign in the hills and believing that formal submission would still satisfy his master, made peace on Yūsuf’s undertaking to appear at court. The promise was fulfilled on April 7, 1586, but Akbar refused to ratify the treaty which Bhagwān Dās had made, and broke faith with Yūsuf by detaining him as a prisoner. The raja, sensitive on a point of honour, committed suicide.
