The weapon pierced his breast and came out at the shoulder-blade, but the wound was not mortal. The Rajput was sent to Hell. The wound in the course of ten or fifteen days healed over, and continued to do well. When the Emperor arrived at Sarohi a body of 100 or 50 Rajputs, as is their hereditary custom, some in idol-temples and some in the palace of the Rajah of Sarohi bound themselves to die, and went forth to fight, and were slain to a man. In this engagement Dost Muhammad, son of the late Tatar Khan governor of Dihli, whom they call Tatarcheh, became a martyr. While the Emperor was at this place he appointed Rai Singh of Bikanir governor of Joudhpur, in order that he might go by way of Gujrat and prevent any harm being done to any one by Rana Kika ruler of Gogandah and Kuinalmair. And Man Singh, son of Rajah Bhagawan Das he sent with a well appointed army in the direction of Idar in pursuit of the sons of Sher Khan Fuladi, who had gone in that direction with all his family and relatives. In the beginning of the month Rajab the Emperor encamped outside Pattan, and gave that place as jagir to Sayyid Ahmad Khan Barha, brother of Sayyid Mahmud. Man Singh having spoiled the remnant of the army of the Afghans rejoined the Emperor bringing much booty. - [Previous: 78.20.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.78.20.7) - [Next: 78.21.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.78.21.1) - [Up: 78.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.78.20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.78.20.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.78.20.8) · Pramāṇa
