v3.c24.77

After the famine Ādam Khān was entrusted with the government of the Kamrāj district, but complaints of his rapacity and cruelty earned for him from his father a rebuke which provoked him to rebellion, and he assembled his troops and marched against his father. Zain-ul-‘Ābidīn succeeded in recalling him to a sense of his duty, and permitted him to return to Kamrāj, but recalled from exile at the same time Hājī Khān. The news of his brother’s recall again provoked Ādam Khān to rebel, and he attacked and slew the governor of Sopur and occupied that city. His father marched against him and defeated him, but he remained encamped on the northern bank of the Jhelum, opposite to the royal camp, until he heard of Hājī Khān’s arrival at Bāramūla, when he fled to the Indus. Zain-ul-‘Ābidīn and his second son returned to Srīnagar, where Hājī Khān atoned by faithful service for past disobedience and was rewarded by being designated heir to the throne.
