3.7.8
Fearing that the enemy might get possession of Mirza Muhammad Husain, Ray Ray Singh's men, by the advice and plan of the aforesaid Raja (Bhagwan Das), cut off his head. My father did not want to kill him. The forces of Ikhtiyaru-l-mulk also were dispersed, and he was thrown from his horse into the thorn thicket. Suhrab Beg Turkman cut off his head and brought it in. It was only by the grace and power of God that such a victory was won by a small number of men. In the same way are beyond all reckoning the conquest of the province of Bengal, the capture of well-known and celebrated forts in Hindustan such as Chitor and Rantambhor, the subjection of the province of Khandesh, and the taking of the fort of Asir and of other provinces which by the exertions of the royal armies came into the possession of the servants of the State. If these were related in detail it would be a long story.
