His intention was to send a strong reinforcement to Prince Daniyal, under Bahadur, son of Raja 'Ali of Khandesh, and to rest awhile in Malwa till events took a favourable turn. The Emperor accordingly left Agra, \* \* and on the 21st of the month, after showing great honour and favour to Khan-khanan, he sent him on in advance. \* \* On the 7th Rabi'u-s sani, the Emperor reached Dholpur. The river Chambal was crossed by fords, and His Majesty went over on an elephant. On the 17th he reached the fort of Gwalior. \* \* \* On the 29th Jumada-s sani, he passed through Sironj, and on the 1st Rajab the royal camp was pitched between Kaliyada and Ujjain. This city Ujjain is one of the most ancient in Hindustan, and contains many relics of antiquity. Kaliyada is the name of one of the most delightful places in the world. \* \* Here the Emperor rested for awhile, expecting that Bahadur Khan, son of Raja ’Ali Khan of Khandesh, would come to wait upon him. Raja ’Ali of Khandesh had been slain fighting bravely under Khan-khanan against the Dakhinis, and it was expected that his son would now come forward to give his services to the Imperial army, in the hope of revenging his father’s fall, and of gaining the Imperial favour. - [Previous: 7.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama-sirhindi~en-elliot.7.1.1) - [Next: 7.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama-sirhindi~en-elliot.7.1.3) - [Up: 7.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama-sirhindi~en-elliot.7.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama-sirhindi~en-elliot.7.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama-sirhindi~en-elliot.7.1.2) · Pramāṇa
