It appeared that the Bengalis had watched them with a jealous eye. After having given me notice of their intentions that I might expect their arrival, they had come to blows with the Bengalis, had effected their escape, crossed the river, and reached the territory of Bihar, whence they were now on their way to tender me their allegiance. The same day I sent word to the ambassador of Bengal, Isma'il Mita, that there was great delay on the part of his Court, in answering the three articles which had formerly been given to him in writing, and which he had forwarded; that he must therefore despatch a letter, requiring an immediate and categorical answer; that if his master had really peaceable and friendly intentions, he could find no difficulty in declaring so, and that without loss of time. \* \* \* - [Previous: 5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.5) - [Next: 5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.7) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.6) · Pramāṇa
