In this same year, 947 H., the Emperor having proved victorious over ’Ali Kuli Khan-zaman and Bahadur Khan, returned to Agra, and his victorious army had hardly taken breath, when the news came of the descent of the Mirzas upon Malwa. The Emperor immediately went off thither. When he reached Gagrun, he did not deem it necessary to prosecute a design which might as well be carried out by his officers; so he appointed Shahabu-d din Ahmad Khan, Shah Bidagh Khan, and some others, to act in the province of Mandu. As these nobles came near to Ujjain, they learned that the Mirzas, having heard of the approach of the Emperor, had met together and gone off to Changiz Khan, the ruler of Gujarat. So these commanders, by the grace of God, and the good fortune of the Emperor, obtained possession of the province without opposition or fighting. In the year 975, when the Emperor had sent his forces to besiege the fort of Rantambhor, he received intelligence that the Mirzas had fled from Changiz Khan, and having come back into Malwa, had laid siege to Ujjain. So he sent against them Kalij Khan and some other amirs who had been named for service at Rantambhor. When these amirs approached Sironj, they were joined by Shahabu-d din Ahmad Khan, the governor of that sarkar, and Shah Bidagh Khan, governor of Sarangpur. The Mirzas hearing of this imposing force, raised the siege of Ujjain, and turned towards Mandu. The garrison being thus relieved, came out.
