At this time Muhammad Zaman Mirza, son of Badi'u-z Zaman Mirza, returned from Gujarat with great contrition, and waited upon the Emperor, who forgave him, and did not utter a word of reproach. Long marches and the unwholesome climate of Bengal destroyed the horses of the soldiers, and the Emperor's army arrived quite destitute of provisions at Chaunsa. The amirs who had been left in Jaunpur and Chunar came to wait upon the Emperor. Sher Khan, having got intelligence of the distress of the army, came and placed himself in front of the Emperor, and the armies remained confronting each other three months.
