After reducing the citadel of Māndū Humāyūn pursued Bahādur, who fled from Chāmpāner to Cambay. Humāyūn followed him thither, but arrived at the port on the day on which he had taken ship for Diū. The remnant of the fugitive's army was staunch and made a night attack on the imperial camp, but a traitor had betrayed their design and the imperial troops, having vacated their tents, allowed the enemy to plunder them and then, falling on them, put them to the sword. They also slew, lest they should be rescued, Sadr Khān and Fīrūz, formerly Jām of Sind, who had fallen into their hands.
