Rāi Singh of Bīkāner was sent to Jodhpur to watch the Rānā and keep the road open and Akbar marched to Pātan (Anhilwāra) sending Rājā Mān Singh in pursuit of the sons of Sher Khān Fulādī, who had fled from that town towards Junāgarh. He returned without the fugitives, but with much booty taken from them, and on 13 November Akbar left Pātan for Ahmadābād, where Sher Khān Fulādī, who had gained possession of the person of Muzaffar III, was besieging I‘timād Khān. He raised the siege and fled on hearing of Akbar’s approach, and Muzaffar, who had escaped from custody, was found lurking in a cornfield at Jotāna, two stages from Pātan, and on 15 November was brought into Akbar’s camp. On the following day I‘timād Khān and the leading members of his faction appeared in the camp and surrendered the keys of Ahmadābād.
