Raja Man Singh, after defeating the Magh Raja, turned his attention toward Kaid Rai of Bengal, who had collected nearly 500 vessels of war, and had laid siege to Kilmak, the Imperial commander in Srinagar. Kilmak held out, till a body of troops was sent to his aid by the Raja. These finally overcame the enemy, and after a furious cannonade, took Kaid Rai prisoner, who died of his wounds soon after he was brought before the Raja.
