[Text, vol. iii. p. 490.] When the Emperor marched to the Panjáb, he received intelligence that Wazír was unable by himself to secure tranquillity in Bengal, and that the rebels were still active. Orders were accordingly sent to Sháhbáz Khán, directing him to march from Bihár to Bengal. Although Sháhbáz requested to be allowed to return to Court, messengers were sent to him with positive instructions to proceed on this duty. The messengers reached him at Jaunpúr, and on the 20th Bahman, he proceeded to carry out his duties in Bengal. By conciliation and judicious encouragement he won over the rebels, so that they submitted and became peaceful. A detachment was sent to the country of Bhátí against 'Ísá, and the territory abandoned by Sádik Khán was recovered. 'Ísá humbly submitted, and sent presents to the Imperial Court. Ma'súm Khán had entered so deeply into rebellion, that he was afraid to present himself; but he offered to send his son in token of submission to the Imperial Court, while he himself lived quietly in seclusion. It was determined that the best thing he could do would be to proceed to Mecca, and afterwards go to Court. Many of the Afgháns of Katlú left him and joined the royal forces. Katlú himself made specious representations, and Sháhbáz Khán was simple enough to give back Orissa to him.
At this time, a force was detached against Kokra,* a flourishing country lying between Orissa and the Dakhin. Mádhú Singh Búmí the chief, relying upon the difficulties of the approach over the mountains, offered resistance. The Imperial forces, however, made good their approach, overran the country and made it tributary.
