News also was brought from the force at Idar, that a battle had been fought with Raja Narain Das and a victory gained. The particulars of the occurrence were these: When Muhammad Kalij Khan, in obedience to orders, repaired to the Imperial camp along with 'Ali Murad Uzbek, the army was left under the command of Asaf Khan. Intelligence came in that the Raja of Idar, with a number of Rajputs who had been driven from their homes, together with some zamindars of the country, and supported by Raja Kika, had gathered a force which was posted ten kos distance, and contemplated a night attack. When this intelligence was confirmed, Asaf Khan and \* \* \* held a council. About 500 men were left to secure the camp, and the rest of the force was called out at midnight, and marched towards the enemy. On the morning of the 4th Zi-l hijja, after marching seven kos, they encountered the foe, and a battle began. Mirza Muhammad Mukim, who led the advance, was killed; but the enemy was defeated. Raja Narain Das fled, and the chiefs of the royal army obtained the victory. Asaf Khan's despatch gave His Majesty much pleasure, and he ordered letters of thanks to be written to the amirs and officers of the army. - [Previous: 66.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66.1) - [Next: 66.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66.3) - [Up: 66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.66.2) · Pramāṇa
