They were terrified at the appearance of the Mahomedans, and fled in confusion to the island of Béte. The spot on which the King encamped was full of wild beasts, such as lions, leopards, and wolves. Snakes, also, were so numerous, that within the enclosure occupied by the royal tents no fewer than seventy were killed in one day. The army was employed in destroying the temple at Jugut, and in building a mosque in its stead; while measures, which occupied three or four months in completing, were in progress for equipping a fleet to attack the island of Béte. During this time the enemy attacked the King’s flotilla on twenty-two different occasions. At length the Mahomedans reached the island, and landed, and having got into the town, put to death a vast number of Rajpoots. Raja Bheem effected his escape in a small boat during the attack, though he was overtaken and made prisoner by some vessels sent in chase; and being put in fetters was carried in the train of the King to Moostufabad, where he was delivered over to the holy man on whose account the war had been undertaken, to whom also his wife and property were restored. The Raja was, subsequently, at the instigation of Mowlana Mahmood, dragged around the city of Ahmudabad, and put to death, in order to deter others from similar conduct. - [Previous: 208.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.208.3.2) - [Next: 208.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.208.3.4) - [Up: 208.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.208.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.208.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.208.3.3) · Pramāṇa
