Akbar-náma, of Shaikh Abu-l Fazl (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 116 - **Language:** English ### [116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.116) \[Text, vol. iii. p. 849.\] The writer of this history was held back from going to Nasik, and marched against the son of Shah ’Ali, which was deemed to be more important. In Isfandarmuz in the preceding year, he had joined Khan-khanan, near Baranganw. But intelligence was brought that one of the great vassals of ’Adil Khan Bijapuri was coming towards Ahmadnagar with 5000 horse and 12,000 foot. The Khan deemed it necessary to watch his proceedings, so he proceeded to Jalna-pur, and left the author to march against the son of Shah ’Ali. On the 27th, the author reached the banks of the Ganga (Godavari). On the 29th he got possession of the fort of Kalna, which is one of the chief fortresses of Ahmadnagar. \* \* ’Ali Mardan Khan, the commander of the Imperial forces, was defeated and taken prisoner in Telingana. The author’s efforts were thereupon directed to the repression of this outbreak, and he sent his son with 1200 horse against the enemy. \* \* On the 6th Khurdad, he defeated them with a loss of 400 killed, and many wounded. - [Previous: 115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.115) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.116) · Pramāṇa
