Death of Jalála the Sectary.*

[Text, vol. iii. p. 835.] A party of Lohánís who had come to Ghazní upon business had been attacked from an ambush by the Hazáras. After seven days' fighting, they were compelled by thirst to retire, and they then sought the aid of Jalála. He went with them into Ghazní, in the disguise of a merchant. When they were attacked by the men of Sharíf Khán, and by the raiyats, Jalála tried to get them back again to their homes. Again the Hazáras fell upon them and scattered them abroad. Jalála was wounded and carried to the hills, where he was put to death by Murád Beg and other intelligent men.

Disturbances in the Dakhin.

[Text, vol. iii. p. 844.] Although Ahmadnagar had fallen to the Imperial arms, a scarcity of grain soon after weakened their power; the malcontents again assembled, and broke out in rebellion. They placed at their head 'Alí, son of Sháh 'Alí, and uncle of Murtazá Nizámu-l Mulk. Khán-khánán was there­fore appointed to take command at Ahmadnagar, and the writer of this history was sent to Násik.
