EIGHTEENTH YEAR OF THE REIGN.
I'dar and Dúngarpúr.
(See Vol. V. p. 353.)

[Text, vol. iii. p. 8.] [When the Emperor set out from Gujarát on his return to Ágra], he appointed Muzaffar Khán to the government of Málwa. He also sent Mán Singh, Sháh Kulí Khán Mahram, and * * * * and a strong force, to proceed by Ídar to Dúngarpúr and that neighbourhood, to reduce to subjection the zamíndárs, and afterwards to proceed to Ágra. * * * * The Emperor reached the capital on the 2nd Safar, 981, and soon afterwards Mán Singh, and the other amírs who had gone by way of Ídar, rejoined the Imperial standard. When this chief and his followers reached Dúngarpúr, they found the zamíndárs of that country prepared to resist. Mán Singh defeated them, and inflicted great loss upon them. After ravaging the country, he went, in accordance with orders, to Údípúr, the country of the Ráná. The Ráná came forth to meet him, and received with proper submission the royal robe which had been sent to him. He conducted Mán Singh to his own abode, and there entertained him. Some treacherous de­signs entered the mind of the Ráná, but he was dissuaded from them by his well-wishers, and Mán Singh went his way in peace.

Muzaffar Khán.
(See Vol. V. p. 370.)

[Text, vol. iii. p. 8.] Muzaffar Khán arrived to attend upon His Majesty, and was raised to the dignity of minister. An order had been sent from Gujarát, directing him to quit the place he might be in, and to repair at once to the Royal presence. He accordingly hastened from Sárangpúr to the capital, and then was installed in office. * * * * But in a short time he became proud, conceited, and self-willed, so that he looked upon his position as due to his own merit, not to the favour of the Emperor. After a time, when the matter of the dágh (horse-branding) came under consideration, he was too puffed up in his own conceit to inquire into the matter, but talked foolishly about it. * * * * [When the Emperor was about to embark on his campaign against Patna], he offered the command of the camp of the Imperial household to Muzaffar Khán; but he further increased the displeasure of the Emperor by making improper objections to his acceptance of this duty.
