Mirza Mirak Rizwi Meshhedi, the mUl of 'Ali Kuli Khan, who had fled from Court to join the latter, was taken prisoner on the day of battle, and was ordered to be cast under the feet of an elephant. But the elephant merely rubbed him with his trunk, and finally, in virtue of his being a saiyid, his crime was forgiven. Khan-khanan, who had been summoned from Karra, now waited upon His Majesty, and was invested with the care and government of the jagirs of 'Ali Kuli Khan and Bahadur Khan in Jaunpur, Benares, Ghazipur, the fort of Chunar and Zamaniya, as far as the ferry of Chaunsa. He also received a present of a splendid robe, and of a horse. In the midst of the rainy season, in Zi-l hijja, 974, the Emperor began his homeward march, and in Muharram, 975, arrived at Agra.
