Takmila-i Akbar-náma, of ’Ináyatu-lla (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 9 - **Language:** English ### [9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.9) Bar Singh Deo, the murderer of Abu-l Fazl, had first been pursued by the Rai Rayan to Bhander, and from thence to Irich, a strong fort on the river. When the advanced party of the Imperial troops turned their conquering face against this place, he came out and drew up his troops to dispute the bank of the stream. The Rai Rayan crossed and attacked, and drove him back again into the fort, which was then besieged by the royal forces. The distress of the enemy increased, till the benighted culprit broke from the walls by night, and fled to the jungle. His elephant was slain there; but he contrived, under the darkness of the night, to effect his escape. - [Previous: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.8) - [Next: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.9) · Pramāṇa
