The troops under Taj Khan having made rapid marches to Kehrla were opposed on the plain by the young raja, who made a desperate resistance, and fought a severe action; but being defeated in the end, and obliged to fly, he threw himself on the protection of the Gond zemindars, by one of whom he was seized and delivered up to the King’s forces, who, in the mean time re-occupied Kehrla. Sooltan Mahmood, on hearing of this success, marched in the direction of Sarungpoor, in order to receive Khwaja Jumal-ood-Deen, ambassador from the court of Aboo-Syeed Mirza, King of Bokhara. Flattered by this mark of attention, Sooltan Mahmood loaded the ambassador with honours and presents, sending him back to his master with a variety of the rarities of India, such as muslins of all descriptions, Arab horses, dancing women, and singers mounted on elephants superbly caparisoned, together with a number of Indian and Abyssinian slaves for the seraglio, and also a few meinas and parrots which had been taught the Persian language; added to this, the King deputed Alla-ood-Deen as ambassador, to accompany Jumal-ood-Deen on his return to Bokhara. - [Previous: 225.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.6.1) - [Next: 225.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.6.3) - [Up: 225.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.6.2) · Pramāṇa
