His scattered forces gathered round him from all sides, so that he mustered nearly three thousand horse and foot. He gave a lac of Mahmudis and a jewelled dagger to Amin Khan Ghori, ruler of Surath, and so won his support. He gave a similar sum to Jam Marsal, Raja of Jhalawar, who was at the head of a body of troops and clansmen. He once more formed designs against Ahmadabad. Amin Khan, being cautious, said to Muzaffar, "Go to the Jam, and take him along with you. I will attend to the provisions for the army, and will follow you." When Muzaffar went to the Jam, he drew back and said, "You march and advance against Ahmadabad: I will follow." On the arrival of Muzaffar at Morbi, sixty kos from Ahmadabad, and the intelligence of his advance being brought to Khan-khanan, the Khan set off with all diligence to encounter him. When Muzaffar reached Param-gam, forty kos from Morbi, and neither the Jam nor Amin Khan arrived, he returned disheartened and distracted towards the mountains of Barda. Then he proceeded to Jagat, which is the extreme town of Surath, and well known under the name of Dwarka. - [Previous: 78.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.2.7) - [Next: 78.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3.2) - [Up: 78.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3.1) · Pramāṇa
