Meanwhile rebellion had once more broken out in Orissa. The young Nasir Khān had observed the terms of his treaty with Mān Singh so long as his guardian lived, but on his death he had repudiated it, had seized the crown lands of Purī and Jagannāth, and had plundered the estates of those who refused to join him in rebellion. Mān Singh, leaving Bihār in November, 1591, defeated the rebel forces at Mednipur (Midnapore) on 18 April, 1592, and followed them through Orissa. They evacuated Cuttack on his approach, and took refuge with Rājā Rām Chand of Serāen.¹ Mān Singh left a force under Yūsuf of Kashmīr to besiege that fortress; on 8 June the garrison surrendered and Orissa was at length completely subdued.
