v3.c25.122

Humāyūn pursued him and besieged him in Māndū. A division escaladed the walls of the fortress at night, and Bahādur, who was asleep at the time, escaped with difficulty to Chāmpāner with no more than five or six followers. Sadr Khān and Sultān ‘Ālam, governor of Rāisen, retired into the citadel, Songarh, but were forced to surrender after the lapse of two days, when the former entered the emperor’s service and the latter, guilty of being a member of the Lodī clan, was mutilated by the amputation of his feet. Sadr Khān was not the only one who changed his allegiance. Mustafā Rūmī Khān, to whom the government of Ranthambhor had been promised during its siege, so resented his master’s failure to keep his word that he entered Humāyūn’s service after the defeat at Mandasor.
