made over to Kamal Khan. Instructions to carry these orders 
into effect were issued to Khan i Kalan Mir Muhammad Khan, 
Mahdi Qasim Klian, Qutb-uddin Muhammad Khan, Sharif Khan, 
Jan Muhammad Khan, Rajah Kapur Deo, and Rajah Ram Chand, 
jagirdars in the Panjab. It was also added that, if Adam Khan 
did not obey these orders, he was to be coerced. 
Kamal Khan having taken leave of his majesty, came to the 
Panjab, and the jagirdars above mentioned having communicated 
the imperial commands to Sultan Adam, neither he nor his son 
Lashkari would obey them. Whereupon the jagirdars reported 
the circumstance to the emperor, who sent a farman to the effect 
that if Sultan Adam continued to be contumacious, he was to be 
punished, and the whole of the country was to be made over to 
Kamal Khan. 
Adam Khan being still obstinate, the imperial troops were 
marched into his country. The latter were opposed by the Gak- 
k’hars. A great battle took place at HiH (Tahyil Gujar Khan). 
The Gakk’hars displayed great bravery, but they were totally 
routed and dispersed. Sultan Adam was taken a prisoner. 
Lashkari fled to the hills of Kashmir, but was pursued, captured, 
and brought back. Thus the whole of the Gakk’har country, 
which had never before been conquered by any former king of 
Hindustan, was easily subjugated by the troops of the emperor 
Akbar. 
Kamal Khan having been placed in possession of the country, 
and Adam and his son having been made over to Kamal Klian, 
the imperial forces returned to their quarters. Kamal Klian killed 
Lashkari, and Adam Khan died in confinement. 
Kamal Khan’s generosity is still remembered. An anecdote is 
related of him that he once gave one lac of rupees to a lliat, or 
bard, for having recited some complimentary verses before him.
