59.1.4

Muhammad Humayun Padshah, considering that it would be disgraceful to go up against Sultan Bahadur and engage his attention while he was engaged in the siege of Chitor halted at Sarangpur. Sultan Bahadur meanwhile forcibly reduced the fort of Chitor, after which he engaged in war with Padishah (Humayun) for a space of two months in the neighbourhood of Mandsur, a dependency of Malwa, but owing to the fact that no supplies of grain could reach the camp of Bahadur, man and beast died from starvation, and Bahadur with five of his most trusty Amirs left the royal tent by the rear door and fled towards Mandsur.

Since Bahadur fell humbled and abject, The date thereof was “The disgrace of Bahadur.”
