On the first day of the following month Bahadur Shah marched to Champanere, at which place Imad-ool-Moolk still continued. He was, however, much impeded by the heavy rain which fell at that season, and was obliged to halt on the Saburmutty; but very soon after continuing his march, he arrived on the banks of the Mehindry, at the Khanpoor ferry. Imad-ool-Moolk, hearing of the King’s approach, dispersed his force over the Baroda district, to distract his attention; but this manœuvre had not the effect of diverting Bahadur Shah from his march on Champanere, where Imad-ool-Moolk and the confederates were eventually seized by Taj Khan. - [Previous: 211.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.211.4) - [Next: 212.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.1.2) - [Up: 212.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.1.1) · Pramāṇa
