The two armies met, and the battle began. Saiyid Hashim and Khizr Aka, vakil of Mirza Khan, were slain, and many men fell. While Muzaffar was engaged with Mirza Khan, I brought round my men, and fell upon his rear. Rai Durga, also, of the left wing, under the orders of Mirza Khan, followed to support me. Muzaffar was put to flight, and great numbers of his men were slain. Next morning Mirza Khan entered the city, and issued a proclamation of amnesty, so that every one felt reassured. Muzaffar fled to Ma'murabad and the banks of the Mahindari river. From thence he went to Kambay. Many of the fugitives rejoined him there, so that his force again rose to nearly ten thousand men. Three days after the victory, Kalij Khan arrived at Ahmadabad with the army of Malwa. Mirza Khan and all the amirs then marched towards Kambay. On their arriving at ten kos from the place, Muzaffar went off towards Baroda. When Mirza Khan reached the village of Bdsad, near Patlad, on the bank of the Mahindari, he sent Kalij Khan and \* \* on in advance to overtake and attack the enemy; but this force, deterred by the difficulty and narrowness of the road, came to a halt, and Muzaffar got off to Raj-pipla and Nadot. - [Previous: 78.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.2.3) - [Next: 78.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.2.5) - [Up: 78.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.2.4) · Pramāṇa
