This departure of Kámrán Mirzá was the turning-point in the
rise of Shir Khán, and in the downfall of the Chaghatái power. 'The
Emperor strongly urged him to leave some of his officers and
forces as auxiliaries, but Kámrán Mirzá, on the contrary, did all
he could to induce those who were at Agra to go away with him,
and strenuously rejected the proposal to leave his own army
behind. Mir Khwája Kilán, who vras his prime minister (and a
slight allusion to whose character has been made above), exerted
himself to the same purpose. Kámrán Mirzá sent him on in
advance, and then followed in person.
While this was passing, Shir Khán advanced to the banks of the
Ganges and crossed his army over. Kutb Khán, his son, marched
towards Atáva [Etáwa] and Kálpi These territories were the
fiefs [ikta] of Husain. Sultán, who was one of the Uzbeg -Sultáns,?
and Yádgár Násir Mirzá, son of Sultán Násir Mirzá, the brother of
the Emperor Bábar, whose story has been told above. Part of
Kálpi had been given to Kámrán Mirzá and he had sent to that
district Iskandar Sultán, as his representative.  'lhese three
persons advanced against Kutb Khán, who was slain in the battle,
and they gained a doutes victory. The Emperor now marched
from Agra towards the Ganges against Shir Khán.
