The very same day the Emperor delivered over the fort to the command of the son of Qulij Khan, and on the 14th of Zi-qa‘dah he returned to Ahmadabad. During the time of the siege several events took place. First of all, Mirza Sharaf-ud-din Husain, who had been a wanderer for ten years, and had at last fallen into the hands of Bahar-Jiv, Rajah of the district of Baglana, was bound and brought into the imperial presence. The Emperor was content with handing this ill-conditioned fellow over to the keeper of prisoners, after he had given him a severe reprimand. Next, while at the halting-place of Bahroch the mother of Chingiz Khan came and demanded justice, and sued for retaliation against Jahjar Khan the Abyssinian, who had basely slain Chingiz Khan. After the circumstances had been investigated the murderer confessed, and the Emperor had him thrown under the feet of an elephant. Next, while the siege of Surat was actually in progress, Ibrahim Husain Mirza after his defeat went from the station of Sarnal to the confines of Patan, and joined Muhammad Husain Mirza and Shah Mirza. Here they thought of a plan for raising the siege of the fort of Surat. Their scheme was as follows: Ibrahim Husain Mirza was to go towards Hindustan with a view to stirring up rebellion, while Muhammad Husain Mirza together with Sher Khan Fuladi were to lay siege to Patan, so that the Emperor becoming uneasy concerning their movements should be obliged to come to Ahmadabad.
