v4.c15.131

The imperial troops came up with the rebels at Fathpur Parsaki,¹ seven miles south-east of Karā, and the battle was fiercely contested for some time, but Bahādur Khān’s horse reared and threw him and he was captured. The defeat of the rebels was completed by an attack of the imperial elephants on Khān Zamān’s contingent, and they fled in confusion, one body of them being put to death by some villagers into whose hands it fell. Khān Zamān was trampled to death in the elephant charge and his head was severed from his body and laid before Akbar. Bahādur Khān was taken alive and executed on the spot, in spite of the intercession of many of the nobles, and Mīrzā Mīrak Rizavī, who had attached himself to the Uzbegs, was tortured by means of an elephant for five successive days, but his life was spared in consideration of his being a Sayyid, and he afterwards received the command of 900 horse and the title of Rizavī Khān, and held lucrative appointments.
