v4.c13.17

When Bahādur Shāh had fled from Humāyūn before Chitor, his chief artillery officer, a Turk called Rūmī Khān, had deserted to the Mughul side and had remained with Humāyūn. He was now approached by an emissary from Bahādur Shāh, who by a skilful mixture of abuse and persuasion induced him to dissuade Humāyūn from an attack on Diu. Humāyūn was convinced that the air of the seashore did not suit him and he returned to Chāmpāner which was being stoutly defended by Ikhtiyār Khān, a Gujarāt general.
