leading tlio van of Yusuf’s army, together with 60 persons was slain. 
Yusuf asking for quarter fled to Hirapur. Mubariz hearing this news 
arranged his army and prepared for war. Yusuf finding himself unequal 
to the contest fled to the town of Parthal in the jungle. Mubariz Khan 
pursued him, and the two parties coming together, Yusuf took refuge in 
the mountains, while Mubariz returned victorious to Kashmir. He 
imprisoned ’All Khan Cliakk son of Nauroz Chakk whom he had sum¬ 
moned to his presence to be near him. Other members of the Ohakk 
faction such as Lauhar Chakk, Haidar Chakk and Hast! Chakk from 
terror did not come to Mubariz at first, but after awhile they all came, 
when Baba Kh alil and Sayyid Barkhurdar had covenanted with them that 
no harm should happen to them. After this each of them retired to his 
own home. On their way they made a covenant that they would recall 
Yusuf Shah and make him their king. At once therefore they sent 
messengers to Yusuf, saying, that they acknowledged him as king, and 
were ashamed of their own pusilanimous conduct. Mubariz began to 
tremble and promised to go at once with his sons and slaves to Yusuf 
Shah, and with this intention went out of the city accompanied by ’All 
Khan Chakk son of Nauroz Chakk whom he had kept in prison. Daulat 
Chakk, who was one of his nobles because he had fled before him, was 
troubled, freeing ’All Kban Chakk, he went to the monastery of Baba 
Khalil alone. Haidar Chakk sent a message to ’All Khan Chakk telling 
him that all this exertion and endeavour was to free him. Yusuf Chakk 
son of ’Ali lOian said to his father : “ Haidar Chakk ^s explaining his 
conduct.” ’All Khan did not heed this, but joined himself to Haidar 
Chakk and went with him. Lauhar Chakk* and the like of him were 
gathered together in one place. When they saw ’All Khan they took him 
and put him in prison. After that they all agreed to elevate Lauhar Chakk 
to the throne. Meanwhile Yusuf Shah having arrived at Kalpur heard 
that the Kashmiris had made Lauhar Chakk king. (I propose identifying 
coin No. 38, pi. Ill as one of Lauhar Chakk’s.) The name on it is neither 
Lauhar nor Gauhar, but some name ending in £ and ud-Din. Perhaps 
the name is Budua-ud-Din [the oustripper of others in 
religion] it is a new name to Kashmir history no matter what it is. 
(Of course it is the name or title Lauhar Chakk assumed on ascending 
the throne.) Going from Lalpur Yusuf Shah went to Zahil and taking 
all his men with him proceeded by way of Jummu to Sayyid Yusuf Khan 
Shahidi who was a great noble of the Emperor Jalal-ud-Din Muhammad 
Akbar, to ask for help. This noble resided in Lahore. By the assistance 
of Raja Man Singh, Yusuf arrived in Fathpur Sikri and had an inter¬ 
view with the Emperor Akbar who had long desired to take Kashmir,
