In short, Mirza Muhammad Husain turned his reins, but his horse's feet became entangled in the thorn-brake and he fell. An ahadi of the king, Gada 'Ali by name, found him, and having mounted him before him on his horse took him to the king. As two or three claimed a share in his capture, His Majesty asked who had made him prisoner. "The king's salt," he answered. The king ordered his hands, that had been fastened behind him, to be tied in front. Meanwhile he asked for water. Farhat Khan, who was one of the confidential slaves, struck him on the head, but the king, disapproving of this, sent for his private drinking water and satisfied his thirst. Up to this time Mirza 'Aziz Koka and the garrison of the fort had not come out. After the capture of the Mirza, His Majesty was proceeding slowly towards Ahmadabad. He had delivered the Mirza to Ray Ray Singh Rathor, one of the Rajput chiefs, to be put on an elephant and brought with him. Meanwhile Ikhtiyaru-l-mulk, who was one of the influential Gujarati leaders, made his appearance with an army of nearly 5,000 men. Complete confusion fell upon the royal troops. The king, as his natural valour and lofty disposition required, ordered the drums to be beaten, and Shajaat Khan, Raja Bhagwan Das, and some others charged on in front to fight this force.
