suppose the city of Kashmir or Srinagar) and repair to fdi Zina. When 
this got wind, Daulat Cliakk and Ghazi Khan Chakk sent Isma’il Hanit 
and Harju with 100 men to call back Sankar Chakk, telling them to 
bring him by force if he would not come otherwise. He would not 
come, but fled to Fdi Zina. In the end Sankar Chakk had given to him 
the jagirs of Kothar, Khawin and Maduru. and was thus satisfied, and so 
the disturbance was quelled. 
In those days there were four parties in Kashmir (1) Fdi Zina and 
his party, (2) Hasan Makari son of Abdal Makari and his party, (3) 
the Kapuris who were composed of Bahrain Chakk, Yusuf Chakk and 
others, (4) the Kasis who were Gaji Chakk, Daulat Chakk and Grhazi 
Khan Chakk. In order to strengthen the Chakk interest, the following 
marriages took place :—The daughter of Yalii Zina married Husain 
Kh an son of Gaji Chakk ; the daughter of Daulat Chakk married Muham¬ 
mad Makari son of Abdal Makari; and the sister of Yusuf Chakk son 
of Zangi Chakk married Grhazi Khan Chakk. Being' thus united for a 
short time the usual result followed, they quarrelled and separated. 
Grhazi Khan Chakk went to Kamraj, Daulat Chakk to Siirpur, the Makari 
faction to Pakul. By reason of this quarrel I'di Zina remained in a 
state of grief in Srinagar. When the egg-plant came in season Fdi 
Zina ordered fowl to be cooked with the fruit : this kind of food is 
delicious and the Kashmiris like it. Afterwards when Bahram Chakk and 
Sayyid Ibrahim and Sayyid Yaqub accepted his invitation to dine off the 
above-mentioned viands (but Yusuf Chakk would not accept the invita¬ 
tion), Fdi Zina seized the three and put them in prison. Yusuf getting 
to hear of this fled to Daulat Chakk at Kamraj, taking with him 3,000 
horsemen and 700 infantry. When Fdi Zina saw that* the Kashmiris 
were going over to the Chakk faction, he set free from prison the 
Mughals Mirza Qarra Bahadur, Mirza Abdur Rahman, Mirza Jan Mirak, 
Mirza Yakla, Mir Shah, Sliahzada Beg Mirza, Muhammad Nazir and 
Jar ’Ali, and supplied them with horses and armour and pay and took up 
a position at Chakkpur. Meanwhile the Sayyids Ibrahim and Yaqub, by 
the help of their troopers, escaped from prison and joined Ghazi Chakk at 
Kamraj. Bahram Chakk was not able to escape. The next day Ghazi 
Klian Chakk came to Srinagar with 30 cavalry and kept up a constant 
fight with Fdi Zina from the Fdgali where he had taken up his position. 
I di Zina sent the Mughals against him. He, however, destroyed all the 
bridges and the Mughals did nothing. Meanwhile Daulat Chakk came to 
help Ghazi Khan. At last Baba Khalil went to Fdi Zina and said, “ You 
trust the Mughals and drive the Kashmiris from your sight. This is not 
expedient.” Accordingly Fdi Zina made peace with the Kashmiris and 
dismissed the Mughals and their families. Khanji, the sister of Mirza
