5.7.4
Inasmuch as before this time the punishment of Dulip and of his father, Ray Ray Singh, had been ordered, there now came news that Zahid Khan, the son of Sadiq Khan, and 'Abdu-r-Rahim, son of Shaikh Abu-l-fazl, and Rana Sankar and Mu'izzu-l-mulk, with another force of mansabdars and followers of the Court, had heard news of Dulip in the neighbourhood of Nagor, which is in the subah of Ajmir, and having moved against him had found him. As he could find no way of escape, of necessity he planted a firm foot and came to blows with the royal army. After a short encounter he was badly beaten and gave over many to slaughter, and himself, taking with him his own effects, fled into the vale of ruin. "With broken arms and loosened belt, No power to fight and no care for head." In spite of his old age, I continued Qilij Khan in his mansab because of his service under my father, and I ordered that he should get a jagir in the sarkar of Kalpi. In the month Zi-l-qa'da the mother of Qutbu-d-din Khan Koka, who had given me her milk and was as a mother to me or even kinder than my own kind mother, and in whose lap I had been brought up from infancy, was committed to the mercy of God. I placed the feet of her corpse on my shoulders and carried her a part of the way (to her grave). Through extreme grief and sorrow I had no inclination for some days to eat, and I did not change my clothes.
