The Book of Akbar (Shaykh Ilāhdād Faiḍī Sirhindī) 1.7

Asaf Khan, after the lapse of two months, proceeded towards Chauragarh. The Rani’s son, who had gone thither from the field of battle, came out to oppose him; but after a short struggle, the army of the King gained possession of the fort. In it were found a great amount of gold, priceless jewels, gold and silver plate, and images of their divinities, together with other valuables and property, which had been collected there by the Rajas during many centuries, as is the custom of those people. All these fell into the hands of Asaf Khan; a hundred and one cooking pots, full of large and valuable gold coins, came into his possession. The performance of this notable action caused his pomp and dignity greatly to increase, and men placed great trust in him. Nevertheless, this faithless man only sent 200 out of the 1000 elephants which he had captured as a pesh-kash to Court, and withheld the jewels and valuables altogether. His Majesty’s magnanimity overlooked this, and he took no notice of the circumstance. Asaf Khan remained established in the government of Garha and Karra, until His Majesty proceeded to Jaunpur for the purpose of chastising Khan-zaman.
