Three days afterwards Muhammad Husain Shaikh * * and other jagirdars of Gujarat came to Pattan, and having set the fort in order, prepared to hold out. Muzaffar Gujarati gave away jagirs and titles to the leading rebels, and busied himself in collecting forces. Sher Khan Fuladi had been governor of Pattan for many years, but had (since) lived for some years in adversity in the country of Surath. He joined Muzaffar Gujarati, who sent him with four thousand horse towards Pattan. When Sher Khan arrived at Kari, he sent forward his men to the town of Jutana, twenty kos from Pattan. I attacked them and defeated them, and left Mir Muhibbu-lla * * and a detachment of soldiers at that place. Zainu-d din Kambu was sent to Kutbu-d din, governor of Broach and Baroda, desiring him to advance from that side against Ahmadabad, so that the enemy might be attacked on two sides and overpowered. Zainu-d din went to Kutbu-d din, and brought him to Baroda. When Muzaffar was informed of his arrival there, he led a large force to attack him, and Kutbu-d din, having fought in an unsoldier-like way, was defeated, and had to take refuge in the fort of Baroda. Many of his men and officers joined Muzaffar.
