him Shah, who was in truth the agent of Daulat Chakk, Ghazi Khan 
Chakk took the affairs of the kingdom into his hands and Daulat Chakk 
was defeated and blinded. (I cannot tell which are the coins of Ibra¬ 
him Shall I, and which of Ibrahim Shall II. They are all like No. 16, 
pi. II, the date is 842 in Arabic words.) Ghazi Khan set up Ismael Shah 
on the throne in 963 A. H. (For coin of Ismail see No. 17, pi. II. 
Date 842 in Arabic words.) In that year Habib Khan Chakk desired to 
join himself to Daulat Chakk and with his intention went towards 
Mardadun. Ghazi Khan Chakk then said to Nasrat Chakk brother of 
Habib, it would be as well for us to seize Daulat Chakk before your 
brother comes, for afterwards it will be difficult to do so. Once upon a 
time Daulat Chakk going on board a boat, went to a pond in the lake 
that he might kill water-fowl. Ghazi Khan coming after him took his 
horses, and when he fled to the mountains pursued him and taking him 
prisoner blinded him. After this Habib Khan Chakk came and Ghazi 
Khan who was not pleased with him gave Nazuk Chakk the nephew of 
Daulat Chakk much inconvenience and trouble. He was not at all at ease 
about the blinding of his uncle and for that reason Ghazi Khan Chakk 
wished to imprison him, but Nazuk, getting news of this fled to Habib 
Khan Chakk. (For coin of Ismail Shah, see No. 17, pi. II.) 
Habib Shah son of Ismail Shah .—-After Ismail Shall had reigned 
two years he died. Ghazi Khan elevated his son to the throne. Towards 
the end of 964 A. H. Nasrat Khan Chakk, Nazuk Chakk, Sankar 
Chakk, brother of Ghazi Khan Chakk, Yusuf Chakk and Hasti Khan 
Chakk met together and took an oath and covenant to this effect that as 
Ghazi Khan Chakk was eaten up by physic, and his brother Husain Chakk 
is in prison, we will release him and slay Ghazi Khan. Ghazi got to hear 
of all this. Appeasing Yusuf and Sankar Chakk he called them into 
his presence. Habib Khan Chakk, Nasrat Khan Chakk, and Darvesli 
Khan Chakk said they would like lawyers and learned men to plead for 
them, and then come or flee as it pleased them. Nasrat Chakk came 
without any promise being given him and was at once imprisoned. 
Habib Chakk and Nazuk Chakk destroyed the bridges and departed. 
Hasti Khan Chakk with all his followers joined them. Ghazi Khan sent 
a large army against them and a great battle resulted. His army was 
beaten and several were taken prisoners. Habib Khan being victorious 
departed to the mountains of Mamun. After the defeat his army had 
sustained, Ghazi Chakk took the field himself in order that he might 
defeat Habib ; and he went to Badumara. Thence by water with 3 
elephants and 3,000 men he went to the plain Khalidgarh. Habib Khan 
here opposed him with twenty men, but after a hard fight he was com¬ 
pelled to flee. At the bridge of the Jamja his horse stuck fast. Mean-
