The royalists were twice defeated; but fresh reinforcements arriving from Dewgur, Khwaja Jehan engaged the Raja a third time, and gained a victory, in which the Raja of Kumpila was made prisoner, but Koorshasip fled to the court of Bilal Dew, who, fearing to draw the same misfortunes upon himself as the neighbouring raja had done, seized Koorshasip, and sent him bound to Kwaja Jehan, and at the same time acknowledged the supremacy of the King of Dehly. Khwaja Jehan immediately despatched the prisoner to court, when he was ordered to be flayed, and shown a horrid spectacle, all around the city, while the executioner proclaimed aloud, "Thus shall all traitors to their king perish." - [Previous: 40.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.2.4) - [Next: 40.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.2.6) - [Up: 40.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.2.5) · Pramāṇa
