History of the Qaraunah Turks in India c10.56

c10.56

⁴⁷ This is Ranking’s translation : “The absolute control of Sonargaon was given him (Fakhr-al-Din); he appointed one Mukhlis, a servant of his, to Lakhnauti and ‘Ali Mubarak, inspector of troops; Qadar Khan put Mukhlis to death and aspired at independence writing diplomatic letters to the court of the Sultan.” This is not in agreement with the text which has : “The government of Sonargaon passed into his hands and he appointed Mukhlis, his slave to Lakhnauti. ‘Ali Mubarak, the ‘ariz of Qadar Khan’s troops put to death Mukhlis and sent peaceful representations to the Sultan.” It appears from the narrative of the *Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi* that Qadar Khan had remained at Sonargaon after the defeat and flight of Fakhrā. It was there that Fakhr-al-Din appeared and won over the army.
