Many of the officers advised the raising of the siege, but Sadr Khan, who was the chief of his nobles, observed that they were warring against infidels, and that if a sovereign of Musulmans were to attack them while so engaged, he would in effect assist the infidels, and this would remain a reproach against him among Musulmans until the Day of Judgment. He therefore advised the continuance of the siege, and would not believe that the Emperor would attack them. When the Emperor had passed through Málwa, and had come to Sárangpur, he was informed of this; so he rested there. Sultán Bahádur carried on the siege of Chitor at his ease, and finally took it by storm, and secured an immense booty. In celebration of the victory, he gave a great feast, and divided the spoil among his soldiers. Then he turned his front towards the Imperial army. - [Previous: 1.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.1.6) - [Next: 1.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.1.8) - [Up: 1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.1.1.7) · Pramāṇa
