Thereafter the Badshah again sent Bahlol Khan from Bijapur against the province of Panhala. [79] He came to the above province. Thereupon the Raje learnt that Bahlol Khan had again come. Then the Raje commented — "He comes again and again." Therefore he again sent (a message) to Pratap Rav — "Bahlol Khan is coming, you are to go with the army, encounter (and) rout him, (and) win victory. Otherwise do not show your face (to me again)." Such was the peremptory verbal message that (he) sent to Pratap Rav. Thereupon Pratap Rav went and encountered Bahlol Khan. The Nawab had come to Jesri. (Pratap Rav) encountered him. A great battle was fought. The fates being contrary, Pratap Rav Sarnobat was killed by a sword-cut. Many fell in the battle. A river of blood flowed. Thereafter Bahlol Khan went to Bijapur. And the Raje's forces came back to Panhala.
