The amirs followed him, crossed over the river, and came up with him. Niyabat Khan attacked them, and a hard fight ensued, but at last he was defeated and went off to Ma'sum Khan. At this time, also, 'Arab Bahadur fled before Shahbaz Khan, and took refuge with Ma'sum. Shahbaz Khan, in pursuit of him, went to Jaunpur, and from thence to Oudh against Ma'sum. But Ma'sum advanced to meet him, defeated him, and put him to flight. In one day Shahbaz Khan travelled forty kos to Jaunpur. Tarsun Muhammad Khan, who commanded the right wing of Shahbaz Khan's force, had been hidden by the jungle, and when Ma'sum's army was disordered, this force came up and defeated it. When Shahbaz Khan was informed of this, he returned immediately, joined his right wing, and rallying his forces, pursued the enemy. Ma'sum fought again in the vicinity of the city of Oudh, and was again defeated. His mother and sisters, wives and children, property and troops were taken. He himself fled to the Siwalik hills. This happened in the month of Zi-l hijja, in the year 988 H. - [Previous: 75.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75.12) - [Next: 76.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.1) - [Up: 75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75.13) · Pramāṇa
