Muzaffar gave all sorts of grand titles to his worthless soldiery, and exciting their hopes of recovering the kingdom, grew so in dignity that, thanks to the power of God! he who had been a Court menial with a monthly stipend of thirty rupees, is now lord of thirty thousand clients. And sending for Sher Khan Fuladi, who had been formerly governor of Patan, from the province of Surat, where he had been in misfortune, sent him with 4,000 horse against Patan. The leaders at Patan sent Zain-ud-din Kambu, brother of Shahbaz Khan, to Qutb-ud-din Muhammad Khan requesting him to march on Ahmadabad from one quarter; while they would do so from the other, and so surround Muzaffar. But Muzaffar was too quick for them, and advancing with his army gave battle to Qutb-ud-din Muhammad Khan at Barodah. And that person of great hopes and little management, who in comparison with the energy of those two old men, was a paragon of the age: — "There are two fortunate heavenly bodies, the Sun, and the Moon, And time hath found thy fair cheek a third," made but little resistance, and was defeated and shut himself up in the fortress of Barodah. And the chief of his army, and his auxiliaries with one consent went over to Muzaffar.
