On the 25th Mihr, Prince Dániyál was directed to march thitherwards. Khán-khánán, Ráí Singh, and many other nobles, with treasure, artillery, and elephants, were ordered to accompany him. Sháh Rukh Mirzá, Sháhbáz Khán, and other chiefs of Málwa, were ordered to join with their forces. Rájá Mán Singh was also directed to march from Bengal, if that province could be safely left. Prince Sultán Murád was instructed to prepare to take part in the campaign. * * At the town of Shaikhupúr, Khán-khánán was summoned to an audience, and he then represented that the most favourable time for an invasion of the Dakhin was after the end of the rains, when grain and fodder might be procured in abundance. So Prince Dániyál was recalled, and the Emperor resolved to head the expedition himself at the conclusion of the rain. * * Khán-khánán was directed to proceed to Ágra, there to collect and organize the forces, and the Emperor returned homewards.
