Āsaf Khān marched from Narhī to Chaurāgarh, the capital of the Gond kingdom, where Bīr Nārāyan, wounded as he was, came out to give him battle, but was defeated and slain, so that the fortress fell at once into the hands of the Mughuls. The raja's servants, obeying the orders which they had received from their master, burnt all the females of his house except two, who miraculously escaped and were saved and sent to Akbar. One of these was Kamlāvatī, sister of Durgāvatī.
