The latter, doubting the truth of this assertion, flatly told the envoy that he did not believe him, and obliged him at length to confess the real truth, that the King of Malwa was unwilling to come, owing to his having harboured the Prince Chand Khan of Guzerat, who was living under his protection. Bahadur Shah observed, that he had no enmity towards Chand Khan, and therefore that need not be adduced as a reason, and that he therefore expected Sooltan Mahmood would come to his camp and pay his respects. The King continued his march to Depalpoor, when he learned that Sooltan Mahmood only now waited to place his son in charge of the government of Mando during his absence. The delay which this arrangement involved gave the Guzerat courtiers an opportunity of again misrepresenting the conduct of Sooltan Mahmood Khiljy; so that Bahadur Shah marched forthwith to Mando, to which he laid siege.—To Meeran Mahomed Khan of Kandeish was intrusted the post of Shahpoor, on the west face of the fort. Lokmun Sing was ordered to occupy Seetulpoor, and the rest of the Poorbies were sent to Julwara. The headquarters of the army occupied Mahomedpoor. - [Previous: 212.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.2.2) - [Next: 212.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.2.4) - [Up: 212.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.212.2.3) · Pramāṇa
