The Akbarī Generations 53.2.5

53.2.5

The Emperor remained in the city till four hours of the day had passed, and having made a proclamation of amnesty to the inhabitants, he left Khan-khanan in command of the army, while he himself dashed off with a detachment in pursuit of Gujar Khan and the elephants. When he reached the Punpun, he swam over on horseback, and the amirs and soldiers followed his example. Then he gave orders for every officer and man to press on with all his might in the pursuit of the enemy, and he himself spurred forward. The amirs, driving Gujar Khan before them, secured Daud's elephants, and brought them to His Majesty. On reaching the pargana of Daryapur, twenty-six kos from Patna on the banks of the Ganges, they drew rein, and it was found that nearly 400 elephants had been taken. His Majesty halted at Daryapur, but ordered Shahbaz Khan Mir-bakhshi and Majnun Khan Kakshal to continue the pursuit. They went on to the river Balbhund, seven kos from Daryapur. There they learned that Gújar, worn out and half dead, had passed over the river, and that some of his men had been lost in the water. Shahbáz Khán and Majnún Khán then returned.
