It was from him at the same period that the Portuguese took the fortress of Dio (Diu), which is in the vicinity of Surat and Cambaya (Kambayat). At his death he (Bahadur) left his sons captives in the hands of Akbar, and there they remained until the end of their lives. Akbar well demonstrated on this occasion how important it is for a king to be present himself during an enterprise of importance, for his forces being in battle array opposite those of Sultan Bahadur, his captains began to talk of avoiding an action for fear of being beaten, since Bahadur's army was much the more powerful. When Akbar learnt this, he hurried in person to the spot, although at a distance of four days' journey from the army, and thus so completely restored the courage of his troops that they gained a victory and routed the foe. Secondly, it is necessary to speak of Akbar's conquest of the Decan (Dakhin), of which the principal places are Brampur (Burhanpur), Acer (Asirgarh), Amadanagar (Ahmadnagar), and Doltabad (Daulatabad). The two first named belonged to Melec Mostafa (Malik Mustafa), a Mahomedan. Amadanagar (Ahmadnagar) belonged to the princess Chande Bibi (Chand Bibi), and Doltabad (Daulatabad) to Meleque Ambar (Malik 'Ambar). - [Previous: 60.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.1.1) - [Next: 60.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.1.3) - [Up: 60.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.1.2) · Pramāṇa
