Ādam Khān recovered Bāltistān, or Little Tibet, and Hājī Khān the fort and district of Loharkot, both of which provinces had revolted. Ādam Khān returned first to the capital, and, as the brothers were clearly seeking an opportunity to measure their strength against each other, his father detained him at Srīnagar. Hājī Khān then returned from Loharkot with the object of attacking both his father and his brother, who marched from the capital to meet him. He was defeated, and fled to Bhimbar, where the main road from the plains of the Punjab enters the Kashmīr mountains, and Zain-ul-‘Ābidīn celebrated his victory with a ferocity foreign to his character by massacring his prisoners and erecting a column of their heads.
