His Majesty had already once deputed Prince Salím to uproot the rebellious Ráná, and the standards of victory had already overshadowed Údípúr. Another force had also been sent to reduce the hill-country. But the Ráná escaped to his fastnesses, and the consummation of this important affair was delayed. An order was now again issued that the Prince should a second time brace his courage to the destruction of this doomed infidel. * * But the inclinations of the young Prince were not heartily engaged in the enterprise. He reported that his troops were not prepared, and made extravagant demands, both for increased forces and treasure. Moreover, he intimated his wish, that if his exorbitant requests were not complied with, he might be allowed to return to his own jágír. His Majesty, accordingly, guessing the object of his conduct, directed that he might consider himself at liberty to return to Allahábád, and to present himself at Court whenever afterwards he chose to do so. The Prince accepted this permission, and marching on the 6th Ázur, crossed the Jumna, near Muttra, and turned towards Allahábád.
Shortly after, the irrevocable commands were issued to Prince Sultán Dániyál and the Khán-khánán to march against 'Ádil Khán of Bíjápúr, who was dilatory in the transmission of his tribute, and had otherwise shown himself refractory. * * The young Prince was ill, and unable to proceed himself; but by the advice of his counsellors, he deputed Ináyatu-lla to Bíjápúr, with a despatch calculated to excite both the hopes and fears of 'Ádil Khán.
Rájá Mán Singh, after defeating the Magh Rájá, turned his attention toward Kaid Ráí of Bengal, who had collected nearly 500 vessels of war, and had laid siege to Kilmak, the Imperial commander in Srinagar. Kilmak held out, till a body of troops was sent to his aid by the Rájá. These finally overcame the enemy, and after a furious cannonade, took Kaid Ráí prisoner, who died of his wounds soon after he was brought before the Rájá.
At this period almshouses were directed to be established throughout the Imperial dominions; also caravanserais for travellers at every stage, where food was to be prepared and held in readiness at all times for the way-worn traveller, who is usually too fatigued to be equal to the exertion of cooking his own repast.
Prince Kaikubád, son of Mirzá Hakím, having contracted the pernicious habit of indulging in intoxicating drugs, was sent into confinement in the fort of Rantambhor, under the custody of Rájá Jagannáth, there to be kept until punishment and seclusion from corrupt society should work in him amendment.
'Ádil Khán of Bíjápúr, being now wrought on by the exhortations of Mirzá Sharfu-d dín, the Imperial ambassador, to offer his allegiance to the State, Mirzá Írich was the noble honoured with the charge of extorting both the tribute which he agreed to send, and the litter of his daughter, who was to be united to Prince Sultán Dániyál. That young prince was also prevailed on to proceed with 5000 horse to Ahmadnagar, to celebrate the rejoicings on the occasion of the nuptials.
