Sliali and set fire to the doors and tried to deliver Muhammad Makari, 
and Ahmad Khan and Hasrat Khan from prison. At that time Masaud 
Manak, who was superintendent of the prison, threw water into the hall 
of the palace until it became mud. Daulat Khan, a follower of the 
Chakks, putting on his quiver stood ready. Bahadur Khan, the son of 
Khan-i-Zaman rushed upon him and struck at him with his sword, but 
it alighted on his quiver. Daulat Khan let fly an arrow which struck 
the horse of Bahadur in the eyes and caused it to rear so that Bahadur 
was unhorsed. Musaud Manak at once cut off his head and Khan-i- 
Zaman who was standing outside fled. Masaud Manak pursued him 
and took him prisoner and led him into the presence of Husain Shah. 
The king commanded that they should take him to Zinagarh, and there 
cut out off his ears and nose and hands and feet and hang the body on 
a door. Calling Masaud Manak his son, he gave him the title of 
Mubariz Khan, and with it the jagir of Balkul. 
In the year 974 A. H. Husain Shah gave orders that Ahmad Khan 
son of (Ihazi Shah, Nasrat Khan Chakk and Muhammad Khan Makari 
should all be blinded. Gfliazi Shah made every exertion to get this order 
reversed, and as he was sick he died. Husain Shah then founded a 
school and sought the company of the pious and learned. To a party of 
these he gave Zainpiir as a jagir. 
In 975 A. H. Husain Shah heard from Lodni Lond that Masaud 
Manak Mubariz Khan had spread abroad that “ inasmuch as the king 
has called me his son, he must also give me a portion of his treasure.” 
Husain Shah was exceedingly troubled on hearing this and went to 
Musaud’s house, where, seeing many horses in the stable his mind turned 
altogether against him, and he ordered him to be imprisoned and Lodni 
Lond was honoured with the offices and position Masaud had enjoyed. 
He did not long enjoy his honours for he embezzled 40,000 ass-loads of 
shawls belonging to government, and was in consequence put in prison 
and ’Ali Kuka received his post. 
In 976 A. H. Qazi Habib, of the Hanifi sect, on a Friday, leaving 
the Juma Masjid, came to the ziarat in the graveyard of Yaikoh Maran. 
There, a man of the Shia religion attacked him with a sword and 
wounded him in the head. Again he struck him and the Qazi raising 
his hand to protect his head had his fingers cut off. Except difference 
in religion these two had nothing else between them, Malana Kamal, 
son-in-law of the Qazi, was also with him engaged in reading. Yusuf 
after wounding the Qazi fled and Husain Shah, who was himself a Shia, 
when he heard of the affair ordered Yusuf to be imprisoned and brought 
before him. A company of lawyers such as Mulla Yusuf, Mulla Firoz 
and the like were assembled, and the king asked them to decide accord-
