v3.c25.98

‘Imād-ul-Mulk in his terror sent large sums of money to Burhān Nizām Shāh I of Ahmadnagar and Udai Singh, raja of Pālanpur, to induce the former to invade Nandurbār and the latter to advance on Chāmpāner in support of the infant king, and wrote also to Bābur, requesting him to send a force to Diū with the same object, and promising him a gift of 10,000,000 *tangas* and the allegiance of Gujarāt. This last promise was reported to Khudāvand Khān and Tāj Khān, and only served to increase the general detestation in which ‘Imād-ul-Mulk was held. Burhān Nizām Shāh accepted the money sent to him, but did nothing in return. Udai Singh did indeed march to Chāmpāner, but his aid alone was of little consequence, and he almost immediately transferred his allegiance to Bahādur.
