dawned it became noised abroad amongst tlie Kashmiris that a Mughal 
was 1} ing slain in their camp. When Khwajah Haji came to view the 
coipse, he said it was that of Haidar. He held up the head from the 
earth but nothing but the last breath remained. He moved his eyes 
and gave up the ghost. After this the Mughals fled to Indarkot and the 
Kashmiris buried the corpse of Haidar and then pursued the Mughals. 
They took refuge in Indarkot and for three days defended themselves. 
On the fourth day Muhammad Kumi loaded the cannon with copper 
coins and fired them on the enemy. Every one who was struck with 
them died. At last, however, Khanmai, the widow of Mirza Haidar, 
and her sister Khanji spoke to the Mughals and said, “ Inasmuch as 
Mirza Haidar has departed from our midst, it would be better to make 
peace with the Kashmiris.” The Mughals agreed to this and sent Amir 
Khan, builder, to the Kashmiris to ask for peace. The Kashmiris were 
pleased at this and wrote a letter with oath and covenant that they 
would not persecute the Mughals any more. The government of Haidar 
Turk lasted for ten years. 
Nazuh Shah. 3rd Time .—When the doors of the fort were opened, 
the Kashmiris went into the treasury of Mirza Haidar and plundered it, 
taking away the beautiful and delicate garments it contained. The 
family of the Mirza was taken to Srinagar and placed in the hands of 
Manuja. The Kashmiri chiefs then divided Kashmir between them¬ 
selves. Daulat Cliakk got the pargannali of Deosar, Ghazi Khan the 
pargannah of Walii ; Yusuf Cliakk and Bahram Chakk obtained Kamraj. 
Khwajah Haji the wakil of the Mirza took a lakh of shawls and the 
whole of the nobles of Kashmir, but especially Idi Zina, took the 
government of the province into their hands. Nazuk Shah as a kind of 
shadow of a king was upheld in name. In truth Idi Zina was king, 
(coin Ho. 10, pi. I. I attribute to this period. It is struck in the name 
of Nadir Shah. The reverse bears the date 957 A. H. and was probably 
struck from an old die of Haidar’s, see Nos. 13 and 14 which were struck 
by Haidar in the name of Humayun. The only sign I can find of 
Haidar on the coins is the solitary £ I have before mentioned on coin 
No. 33, pi. III.) 
In 959 A. H. Sankar Chakk son of Gaji Chakk who was without 
any estates, while Ghazi Chakk who called himself the son of Gaji had 
many, desired to leave Kashmir. The whole story is this, Sankar Chakk 
was without any doubt or question the son of Gaji Chakk. Ghazi Khan 
Chakk, although he was called the son of Gaji, in reality was not his 
son. For Gaji after the death of his own brother Hasan Chakk took to 
wife the widow who was then with child. Two months after Ghazi Klian 
Chakk was born. Hence Sankar Chakk wished to leave Kashmir (i. e., ]
