Among the Guzeratties, the son of Asuf Khan lost his life, Sooltan Mahmood himself was severely wounded, and fell into the enemy’s hands, and Rana Sanka proceeded to Mando. Moozuffur Shah lost no time in sending reinforcements to the remainder of the Malwa army. At this time, Noosrut-ool-Moolk was removed from the government of Idur, and Moobariz-ool-Moolk nominated to that office. Shortly after his arrival at Idur, some person ventured to extol the bravery of Rana Sanka, on which the governor was much incensed, and an altercation ensued. Moobariz-ool-Moolk, to show the contempt he had for the Rana, caused a common cur to be tied up at the fort-gate, directing it to be called Rana Sanka. The Rana, hearing of this insult, was so incensed, that he immediately marched towards Idur, and pillaged the country as far as Serohy. The King, having left Kowam-ool-Moolk at Ahmudabad to act against the Girasia chiefs in that vicinity, marched to Champanere on his way to Malwa. Rana Sanka arrived at Bagry, where he was joined by the raja of that province, who owed allegiance to the crown of Guzerat. - [Previous: 209.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.209.2.3) - [Next: 209.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.209.2.5) - [Up: 209.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.209.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.209.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.209.2.4) · Pramāṇa
