In 984, M.’A. was appointed to Gujrat, Vazir Khan having the management of the province. In the 25th year, he was made Mir ’Arz, and three years later, ataliq to Prince Salim. Soon after, he was sent against Sultan Muzaffar of Gujrat. Muzaffar, during the first Gujrati war, had fallen into the hands of Akbar’s officers. He was committed to the charge of Mun’im Khan (No. 11), and after his death, to the care of Shah Mansur the Diwan (No. 122). But Muzaffar managed, in the 23rd year, to escape, and took refuge with the Kat’his of Junagarh, little noticed or cared for by Akbar’s officers. But when I’timad Khan was sent to Gujrat to relieve Shihabuddin (No. 26), the servants of the latter joined Muzaffar, and the Gujrat rebellion commenced. Muzaffar took Ahmadabad, and recruited, with the treasures that fell into his hands (vide Qutbuddin, No. 28), an army of 40,000 troopers. Mirza ’Abdurrahim had only 10,000 troopers to oppose him, and though his officers advised him to wait for the arrival of Qulij Khan and the Malwah contingent, Dost Khán Lodi, M. ’A.’s Mír Shamsher, reminded him not to spoil his laurels and claims to the Khán Khánánship. M. ’A. then attacked Muzaffar and defeated him in the remarkable battle of Sarkíj, three kos from Ahmadábád. On the arrival of the Málwah contingent, M. ’A. defeated Muzaffar a second time near Nándot. Muzaffar concealed himself in Rájpíplah. - [Previous: 250.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.1) - [Next: 250.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.3) - [Up: 250](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.250.2) · Pramāṇa
