Akbar-náma, of Shaikh Abu-l Fazl (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 8 - **Language:** English ### [8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.8) (See Vol. V. p. 193.) \[Text, vol. i. p. 172.\] \[After the conquest of Ahmadabad and\] the settlement of the affairs of Gujarat, Humayun marched towards the port of Diu (in pursuit of Sultan Bahadur); but when he left Danduka, which is about thirty kos from Ahmadabad, letters reached him from Agra with the information that affairs had gone on badly since his departure from the capital, and that revolts had broken out in several quarters. News also came from Malwa, that Sikandar Khan and Mallu Khan had risen and attacked Mihtar Zambur, the jagirdar of Hindia, who had removed into Ujjain with his property. The troops stationed at various places in the province had also gone into Ujjain, where they were besieged by the insurgents. Darwesh ’Ali, Kitabdar, the governor, was killed by a gunshot, and the garrison then capitulated. This intelligence determined Humayun to fall back, and to take up his residence for a time at Mandu, whilst he cleared the province of Malwa of rebels, settled the affairs of the conquered country of Gujarat, and suppressed the revolts in the vicinity of the capital. He therefore placed Gujarat in charge of Mirza ’Askari. - [Previous: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.7) - [Next: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-elliot.8) · Pramāṇa
