Baz Bahadur pursued them, and brought the whole of Malwa once more into his power. The amirs who had abandoned Malwa, and had come to Court without orders, were imprisoned for a time, and then set at liberty. 'Abdu-lla Khan Uzbek now received orders to retrieve this disaster in Malwa, and Mu'inu-d din Ahmad Khan Farankhudi, and several other Khans, were directed to assist him. Towards the end of the year 969 H. (1562 A.D.), 'Abdu-lla and his auxiliaries entered Malwa, and Baz Bahadur, being unable to withstand him, took to flight. A force was sent in pursuit, and coming up with the fugitives, killed many of them. Baz Bahadur found protection for some time with Rana Udi Sing, one of the chief rajas of Marwar, and afterwards he repaired to Gujarat, but eventually he threw himself upon the mercy of the Emperor, and sought a refuge from the frowns of fortune. 'Abdu-lla Khan remained at Mandu, and the other amirs returned to their jagirs. Mu'in Khan, after setting the affairs of the country in order, returned to Court.
