In 1457 Qutb-ud-dīn again invaded the dominions of Rānā Kūmbha. He had in his camp the chief of Ābū, who had been expelled from his mountain fortress by the Rānā, and his first care was to restore him. Having accomplished this he attacked and burnt Kumbhalgarh, and slaughtered both men and cattle throughout the neighbourhood, but though he burnt the fortress he was unable to take it, and, having devastated the country round about Chitor, he returned to Ahmadābād, where he died, after a short illness, on May 18, 1458.
