Takmilah i Akbar-namah 12: Defeat of the Magh Raja.

12

This short-sighted Raja, who had just now acquired the country of Bangu, and secured possession of the gold hoarded for many years, became elated with the extent of his treasures and the number of his elephants. He had succeeded by his wiles in bringing over Kaid Rai, the zamindar of Bakrampur, who had been forcibly reduced by Man Singh. He then openly rebelled, and assembling an army at Sunarganw, laid siege to a fort in the vicinity. Sultan Kuli Khan the governor bravely defended himself, and eventually sallying forth, dispersed the besiegers. Ahmad, another rebel, then joined the Raja with his forces, and a second time summoned Sultan Kuli. Raja Man Singh, hearing of the increased numbers of the enemy, despatched a force under Ibrahim Atka, Raghu Das, and Dalpat Rai, to his assistance. These soon brought the Magh Raja and all his forces to action, for as victory ever attends the Imperial standards, they attacked him, regardless of the number of his boats and the strength of his artillery. A complete victory was gained. One hundred vessels, of different kinds, were taken; and the Raja was compelled to intrench himself in front of the Imperial troops, to provide safety against their attacks.
