c10.s2.12

The news of the humiliating retreats put the sultan to his mettle and he sent a strong force under the veteran Malik Kamāluddin Gurg. On his arrival in Jalor, Kamāluddin pressed the siege with unabated vigour. At last Gokalnath, his son Vikram Deva and their followers were killed in a close combat and the fortress fell. Maldeva, a brother of Kanhar Deva, survived the massacre that followed the fall of Jalor. Later on, he was able to secure the good will of the sultan, who as shown before, appointed him to take charge of Chittor from Khizr Khan.
