The troops of Dihli reached Bhakar on the 10th of Rabi’-ul-Awwal, 625 H., and preparations for attack were made. It was, however, not made until near seven weeks after, on 1st of Jamadi-ul-Awwal; but Kaba-jah, driven from the outer walls, lost the town and had to retire to the fort.” This description, however, is not applicable to the island of Bhakar in its present extent. Kaba-jah is then said to have offered to capitulate, if he were allowed to send away his sons and his treasure. This was refused; and he, placing no faith in his conqueror \[rival?\], preferring death to surrender and captivity, cast himself from the walls into the water, on the night of Thursday, the 19th of Jamadi-ul-Akhir—one month and nineteen days after the first investment of the place. - [Previous: 185.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.185.8) - [Next: 185.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.185.10) - [Up: 185](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.185) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.185.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.185.9) · Pramāṇa
