56.1.3

Jalal Khan fled from Gwaliar and went to Malwa to Sultan Mahmud of Malwa. After the arrival of the Sultan’s troops Rai Vikramajit the son of Rai Man Singh, who, after the decease of his father, held the government of Gwaliar, was not able to cope with them, and could not properly defend the fortress. The fortress of Badalgarh, which lies below the fortress of Gwaliar, a very lofty structure, was taken from Rai Man Singh and fell into the hands of the Muslims, and a brazen animal, which was worshipped by the Hindus also fell into their. hands, and was sent by them to Agra, whence it was sent by Sultan Ibrahim to Dihli, and was put up over the city gate. This image was removed to Fathpur in the year 992 H., ten years before the composition of this history, where it was seen by the author of this work. It was converted into gongs, and bells, and implements of all kinds. In those days Sultan Ibrahim becoming distrustful of the old Amirs, imprisoned the greater number of them, and expelled (others) in different directions; and inasmuch as Jalal Khan could not get on with Sultan Mahmud of Malwa, he fled from Malwa and came to the country of Kara Kanka, where he fell into the hands of a tribe of the Gonds, who took him prisoner and sent him as a present to the Sultan, who ordered him to be taken to Hansi and imprisoned with his brothers. While on the way thither he drank of the draught of martyrdom.
