78.1.7

On the 8th of Jumada-l-awwal in the year nine hundred and sixty-nine (969) the Emperor went on a pilgrimage to the blessed tomb of that Pole-star of Shaikhs and Saints, Khwajah Mu‘in-ud-din Chishti (may God sanctify his glorious tomb!), and gave presents (P. 50) and alms to the people who waited there. And at the town of Sambhar, celebrated for its salt-mines, Raja Bahdrah Mall, governor of Amber, together with his son Rai Bhagvan Das, came and paid his respects to the Emperor, who then espoused his gentle daughter in honourable wedlock. And Mirza Sharaf-ud-din Husain, who held a fief on the confines of Ajmir, he appointed to reduce the fortress of Mirt’ha, which is within 20 cosses of Ajmir, and was held by Jaimall Rajput; and then returned quickly to Agra. Mirza Sharaf-ud-din Husain gave quarter to the garrison, but stipulated that they should carry away with them none of their goods, or personal property. So Jaimall evacuated the place. But a certain Deo Das one of Jaimall’s soldiers contrary to the stipulations, when the imperial troops were entering, with a considerable number of men set fire to the goods and chattels of the fortress, and offered an obstinate resistance. After raising many of the imperial soldiers to the grade of martyrdom, Jaimall himself went into eternal fire, and 200 of his renowned Rajputs went to hell. Thus by the help of Shah Budagh Khan, and his son ‘Abd-ul-mutlab Khan, and other Amirs the fortress was taken.
