Ibrahim also collected a new army at Sambal, and went in the direction of Kalpi. 'Adali now sent Himun, the bakkal, who was his wazir, with a large army, and with 500 war-elephants and artillery, against Agra and Dehli. When Himun reached Kalpi, he resolved to dispose of Ibrahim first, and hastened to meet him. A great battle followed, in which Himun was victorious, and Ibrahim fled to his father at Bayana. Himun followed and invested Bayana, which he besieged for three months. - [Previous: 2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.5) - [Next: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.7) - [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.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.6) · Pramāṇa
