The Commentary of Father Monserrate 3.2.6

3.2.6

Hearing that Zelaldinus had been hailed as king by the citizens of Agra, he was greatly annoyed, and began to favour the accession of Mirsachimus, the second son of Emaumus, who had become king of Chabulum. However whilst he was meditating these designs, Zelaldinus, who was a resolute and vigorous young man, anticipated his treachery, and learning that the Persian was hesitating attacked him unawares and captured him after a pitched battle. He did not however put the prisoner to death, but spared him on account of his services to his father and himself in restoring to them their kingdom when it had been overrun by the Patanaei. This clemency led to the revolt of many of his father's vassal-chieftains. However after the defeat of the Persian, it was easy for Zelaldinus to finish off the war which had been originated by his grandfather and successfully continued by his father. For by combining his original army, by whose help he had defeated the Persian, with the latter's troops, who had gladly transferred their allegiance to himself, he conquered the Gaccares, the Cambovi, the Baloches, the Rattoi, the Rasputes, the Geratae, and the Patanaei (whose king David was slain in battle). Afterwards he also subdued the Indoscythians and Mongols who supported his nephew. Finally he defeated the Caspirii. I shall forbear to enumerate the cities, towns and districts which he occupied, and the other princes whom he conquered; for their names are outlandish and unpronounceable.
