that the eunuch of La‘natu-llah was in his house, and they tied his hands to his neck, and brought him. Having imprisoned a number of Bi-daulat’s servants and dependants, they engaged in keeping order in the city. The jewelled throne, the cash of Rs. 2,00,000, and the property and effects of Bi-daulat and his men in the city, came into their possession. When this news reached Bi-daulat, he sent off La‘natu-llah with Himmat K., Sharza K., Sar-afraz K., Qabil Beg, Rustam Bahadur, Salih Badakhshi, and other criminals. What with royal servants and his own men, he had some 5,000 or 6,000 horse. Safi K. and Nahir K., becoming aware of this, planted firmly the foot of courage, and employed themselves in encouraging their men and collecting forces. Whatever cash and valuables they could obtain, even to the throne, which they broke up, they divided amongst both the old and new troopers as pay. Raja Kalyan, Zamindar of Idar (printed wrongly “Andur”), and the son of Lai Gopi (?), and all the Zamindars from every quarter, were summoned into the city. A good number was thus assembled. La‘natu-llah did not wait for auxiliaries, and in the space of eight days came from Mandu to Baroda. The loyal party, by the guidance of their courage, and in reliance on God, came out of the city and encamped on the bank of the Kankariya Lake. It occurred to La‘natu-llah that if he came on quickly, the rope of order of the loyal might be broken.
