The Memoirs of Bābur 4.6

4.6

Next morning, being Thursday, I marched round the fort, and encamped by the fort of Mallu Khan. When I came it was my design, after the capture of Chanderi, to fall upon Rai Sing, and Bhilsan (Bhilsa), and Sarangpur, which is a country of the Pagans that belonged to Salahu-d din, the Pagan; and I intended, after conquering them, to advance to Chitur against Sanka. On the arrival of the unfavourable news that has been alluded to, I convened the Begs and held a council, in which it was decided that it was necessary, first of all, to proceed to check the rebellion of the insurgents. I gave Chanderi to Ahmad Shah, who has been mentioned, the grandson of Sultan Nasiru-d din, and fixed a revenue of fifty lacs to be paid from it to the imperial treasury. * *
