'Adali first sent a force after him, and then marched against him in person. The hostile forces met near Chhatra-mau, forty kos from Agra and thirty from Kanauj, and Taj Khan was defeated. He fled to Chunar, and on his way he took possession of several local treasuries belonging to 'Adali, and enriched himself with their contents. He also seized a troop (halka) of elephants, one hundred in number, and went and joined his brothers 'Imad, Sulaiman, and Khwaja Ilyas, who held several districts on the banks of the Ganges and at Khawáspúr Tánda. Open war began, and 'Adalí led his army from Gwálior to the banks of the Ganges, and there fronted his adversary. One day Hímún told 'Adalí that if he would give him a troop (halka) of elephants, he would cross the river and take the courage out of the Kirání rebel. 'Adalí complied with this request, and Hímún defeated the rebels. - [Previous: 2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.2) - [Next: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.4) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.3) · Pramāṇa
