v3.c51.s7.4

The very day of Akbar’s flight, Shihab-ud-din Khan had gone out in pursuit and killed many stragglers of the rebel force. A well-appointed army under Prince Muazzam was next sent into Marwar to hunt Akbar down, while orders were hurried off to the provincial governors, commandants of outposts, and zamindars on all sides, to watch the roads and prevent the prince’s escape from Rajputana.
