The Akbarī Generations 78.4.6

78.4.6

It was necessary to put an end to these proceedings, so I crossed over the Ran into Kach at a place where the water was not more than three kos wide, and set to work plundering and destroying. We burnt and destroyed the towns of Kari and Kataria, two places well known in Kach. We realized an enormous booty, and after plundering and destroying nearly three hundred villages in the course of three days, we re-crossed the Ran opposite Malia and Morbi. Here the Ran was twelve kos wide, and we were engaged from dawn till eve in the passage. The water was up to a man's navel. After crossing we ravaged and destroyed the parganas of Malia and Morbi, which belonged to Khangar. We remained at Morbi three days. Here I wrote to Khangar, telling him how I had been informed that the hostile proceedings were the work of Jasa and Bajain, and had not been sanctioned by him. I had therefore inflicted a little punishment. Had it been otherwise, I would have attacked Bhuj, his residence. If he did not henceforth act loyally, he would see what would happen. Khangar sent his vakil to me with his apologies. After this a barrier was raised (against inroads).
