Bahādur gained an easy victory over Vikramāditya at Loicha¹, in the dominions of Surjan, Rāo of Būndī, for the Rānā was deserted by most of his vassals, who marched to the defence of Chitor, and Bahādur, after his success, turned in the same direction and formed the siege. Burhān-ul-Mulk now held Ranthambhor, which he had captured for Bahādur when he had first appeared before Chitor in the preceding year, and Bahādur sent Tātār Khān Lodī, a grandson of Buhlūl Lodī of Delhi who had entered his service, with a vast sum of money, in order that he and Burhān-ul-Mulk might attack the Mughal empire. Tātār Khān raised an army and captured the fortress of Bayāna, but Humāyūn's youngest brother immediately recovered it, and slew him. Meanwhile the siege of Chitor continued. According to Rājput legend Jawāhir Bāi, the queen-mother, of Rāhtor race, sent Humāyūn a bracelet, in accordance with the chivalrous custom of Rājasthān, adopting him as her champion against Bahādur, but the legend is inconsistent with the Muslim chronicles and with the conduct of Humāyūn, who, despite the gross provocation which he had received, would not attack a brother Muslim while he was engaged in fighting the misbelievers.
