Jalal Khan Mewatti, on hearing of his advance, shut himself with a large force in the fort of Andaru, which is the strongest place belonging to the Mewattis. Next day the Sultan prepared to attack the place, but before his forces drew near, Jalal Khan set fire to the fort, and making his way out he went off towards Kutila. The greater part of the provisions and materials and grain, which had been collected in prospect of the siege, fell into the hands of the royal forces. His Majesty then marched away, and encamping at the town of Tajara, he devastated the greater part of the country of Mewat. Jalal Khan, being distressed and helpless, returned to his allegiance; and paying his revenue and taxes according to old rule, gave up his rash proceedings, and was pardoned. Malik 'Imadu-l Mulk joined the Sultan at Tajara with a strong force of horse and foot from Bayana. The Sultan sent Malik Kamalu-l Mulk and all the amirs and maliks from Tajara to coerce the infidels of Gwalior and Etawa, and he himself returned with an escort to the capital, which he reached in the month of Jumada-l awwal. After he had been there a few days, the intelligence arrived that Shaikh 'Ali was marching with a large force against the amirs who were engaged in the siege of Tabarhindh (Sirhind). - [Previous: 7.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.32) - [Next: 7.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.34) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.7.33) · Pramāṇa
