[No. 2, 
India. He arrived in Agra bnt died shortly afterwards. (It would be 
interesting to know what the ashrafis which are mentioned in this story, 
were. The only gold coin I have seen of the Sultans of Kashmir is one 
of Yusuf. General Cunningham has two gold coins of Maharaja TIarsha.) 
In 979 A. H. ’All Chakk, son of Nauroz Chakk, came to ’All Shah 
and complained that Diikah had been trespassing on his estates and 
interrupting his business. “ If you do not stop him” said he “ I shall 
rip open the belly of my own horse.” ’All Shah understood this to 
mean a threat against himself. For this reason lie grew angry and 
ordered him to be arrested and taken to Kamraj. He escaped from this 
place, however, and fled to Husain Quli Khan, governor of the Panjab, 
who did not treat him with conventional hospitality, so he left Lahore 
and returned to Kashmir where he was arrested by ’All Shah and 
imprisoned. He again after some time escaped and went to Naushahra 
where ’All Shah sent an army against him which took him prisoner and 
hurried him away. 
In 980 A. H. ’Ali Shah invaded Khatwar and taking the daughter 
of the ruler of that place, he returned. At this time Mulla Ishqi and 
Qazi Sadr-ud-Din came from Akbar on a mission to ’Ali Shah. ’Ali sent 
his niece as a wife for the prince Salim, and along with her he sent a 
quantity of presents. He also read the khutba and struck coins in the 
name of thud sovereign, i. e., of Akbar. At this time also Yusuf the son 
of ’Ali Shah on the information of Muhammad Bihut, put to death

Sluih. Yusuf together with his informer fled to Baramulla. ’Ali Shah 
tried to heal the wound. People asked that the sin of Yusuf might be 
forgiven, but demanded that Muhammad Bihut, who was the cause of 
the trouble, should be imprisoned which was accordingly done. 
In 982 A. H. ’Ali Shah invaded Khatwar, which is also called 
Kislitwar. Taking the daughter of the governor of that place for a wife 
to his grandchild Yaqub he made peace and returned to the city. 
In 983 A. H. ’Ali Shah together with his family and court visited 
Jamalnaggari. Haidar Khan, son of Muhammad Shah, of the family of 
Zain-ul-Abidin who was in Gujrat when that country was taken by 
Akbar, and who returned to India along with the Conqueror, now came 
to Na us Indira. His cousin Salim Khan who was in the neighbourhood 
joined him with a large party. ’All Shah sent a large army under 
Lauhar Chakk against them. Muhammad Khan Chakk, who was then 
governing Rajaori being envious at the appointment of Lauhar Chakk 
imprisoned him and taking his army went over to Haidar Khan in 
Naushalira and offered to conquer Kashmir for him if he could send 
along with him that brave man Islam Klian. Haidar elated with the
