In this interval Akbar fled from Vingorla to Rajapur; he could not make his escape in the vessel he had prepared, for the royal fleet had burnt it. At Rajapur, with the help of some French merchants there, he acquired means of flight, and reached Persia, where he was received in state by Xaasoliman (Shah Sulaiman), son of Shah 'Abbas. Great gifts were conferred on him, but he was not permitted to leave the court. There he dwelt till the death of that king.
