Muhammad at once assembled a large force at Broach and marched to Daulatābād. The rebels came forth to meet him, but were defeated with heavy loss and, with their wives and families, took refuge in the citadel which Muhammad himself had made impregnable, while Hasan the centurion, entitled Zafar Khān, the rebels from Bīdar, and the brothers of Ismā‘īl Mukh retired to Gulbarga with a view to consolidating their position in the outlying districts of the province since the neighbourhood of Daulatābād was no longer safe.
