I–II 396.9 - **Language:** English ### [396.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.396.9) When he became aware of the advance of the victorious army he out of utter daring turned his rein and fell upon the centre. A great fight took place which bore on its face a mark of the story of Rustam, or rather it was one which rolled up those old pages and placed them in the alcove of oblivion. The end was that Deo Das fell from his horse and was assailed by a number who cut him to pieces. The victorious troops returned with success and glory. Some said that Deo Das came out of this battle, wounded, and some ten or twelve years afterwards a person appeared in a jogi's dress and assumed this name. Some acknowledged him, and many rejected him. He lived for a while and then was killed in some adventure. In short, the other Rajputs escaped half-dead from that battle-field, and the fortress of Mirtha together with all its territory came into the possession of the imperial servants, and was included among the dominions.
