v1.c9.27

Sata Hala, the son of the zamindar of Kakrala, paid a visit to Aurangzib at Multan, but in the meantime his rival crossed over from Cutch and seized his lands. A detachment from Malik Husain's force, assisted by a gunboat, drove away the usurper, who fled without standing a battle.∗ Everywhere lawless men and frontier clans felt that they had got a new master, who could not be safely defied.
