Then Ruhullah Khan carried another mine under the fausse braye (rauni) of the fort, on the other side of the gate. On 13th April the two mines were fired. The first killed many of the garrison and buried the havladar Pragji Prabhu under the debris of the wall, but he was dug out alive. The second exploded outwards with disastrous consequences to the Mughals. A tower was blown up and fell upon the Mughal troops densely assembled at the foot of the wall for the assault. Nearly two thousand of them, including 500 Mavlés, perished.
