v1.c9.s30.4

The next day, the 27th, about midday, Qutb-ul-mulk appeared at the audience, made the usual offerings, and was dismissed. That afternoon there was an outbreak among the troops, and it very nearly ended in an attack on Qutb-ul-mulk's mansion. On one side were the artillery headed by Bika, Hazari ;* on the other, the men of Rajah Ajit Singh and of Chura Jat. The fight lasted over three hours, many on both sides were killed, and only the coming-on of night separated the combatants. Ghazi-ud-din Khan Ghalib Jang, the commander of the artillery, Said Quli Khan Qul, and Sayyid Najm-ud-din Ali Khan intervened, and the quarrel was made up. Zafar Khan was sent by the Emperor to make excuses and apologize to Rajah Ajit Singh.†
