v3.c43.2

There is some conflict between Talish and the *Alamgirnamah* as to the details of the fall of Chatgaon. The former (1) ascribes the Mughal victories almost entirely to the Feringis, (2) makes the *qiladar* of Chatgaon capitulate to admiral Ibn Husain, giving the Mughal army no share in the event, and (3) interposes only one night between the naval victory in the Karnafuli river and the opening of the gates of Chatgaon to the Mughals. The official history (*Alamgirnamah*) ignores the most important part played by the Feringis in the campaign, implies that the fort surrendered to the land-forces under Buzurg Ummed Khan himself, and gives 36 hours to the siege.
