Mubāriz-ul-Mulk was now sent to relieve Nusrat-ul-Mulk at Īdar, where he was so annoyed by hearing the praise of the valour and generosity of the Rānā that he named a dog Sangrama, and tied it up at one of the gates of the town. The Rānā, on hearing of this insult, assembled his army and marched on Īdar, where Mubāriz-ul-Mulk's officers were so enraged with him for having by his contemptible act endangered them and the city that they dissuaded the king from sending assistance to him, and retired to Ahmadnagar, carrying him with them. The Rānā occupied Īdar and marched on to Ahmadnagar, where he defeated Mubāriz-ul-Mulk with heavy loss and compelled him to retreat to Ahmadābād. After plundering Ahmadnagar he marched to Vadnagar, the inhabitants of which town, being Brāhmans, escaped molestation thence he marched to Visnagar, plundered the town after defeating Malik Hātim, who gallantly came forth to meet him with the small force at his disposal, and then returned to his own country.
