person by way of punishment was allowable. The Qazi said, “ I am 
alive. The killing of such a person is not allowable.” At last, however, 
they stoned Yusuf. By accident at that time there came to Kashmir 
some co-religionists of Yiisuf,—Mirza Muqim, and Mir Yaqub son of 
Baba ’Ali as ambassadors from the court of the Emperor Jalal-ud-Din 
Muhammad Akbar. Whey they arrived at Hirapur Husain Sliah Chakk 
erected his tents. When he heard that they were near he left his tent 
and went out to meet them, and then bringing them in took his seat by 
their side. After this the ambassadors went by boat, accompanied by 
Husain’s son to Kashmir while Husain returned on horseback. The 
house of Husain Makari was appointed for them. After a few days 
Mirza Muqim who was a co-religionist of Yusuf said that as the Qazis

to death Mirza Muqim as a recompense for his causing the death of

’Ali Khan Chakk determined to go to ’All Khan Chakk who was in 
Sonpur. When Yusuf went to that place others also gradually fled to 
’All Khan. Husain Shah sent messengers to ’Ali Khan to know what he 
had done “ thy son has received no injury I send him to you.” ’All gave 
answer that “ he had done nothing also. People of themselves have fled 
to me. Although I advise them to return it is of no use.” At last ’All
