He left Khawas Khan and 'Isa Khan Niazi, and some other chiefs, in the country of Nagor, and himself returned.

Maldeo went to the fort of Siwana, on the borders of Gujarat. Sher Shah's nobles represented to him that, as the rainy season was near at hand, it was advisable to go into cantonments. Sher Shah replied, "I will spend the rainy season in a place where I can carry on my work," and marched towards the fort of Chitor. When he was yet twelve kos from the fort of Chitor, the Raja who was its ruler sent him the keys. When Sher Shah came to Chitor, he left in it the younger brother of Khawas Khan, Mian Ahmad Sarwani, and Husain Khan Khilji. Sher Shah himself marched towards Kachwara. His eldest son 'Adil Khan took leave to go and visit Rantambhor.
