[Text, vol. i. p. 162.] On the 21st of Shawwál Sultán Bahádur lost all hope. He ordered all the large guns and mortars to be filled with powder, and to be fired till they burst. When night came on, he, along with Mírán Muhammad Shujá' and five or six of his personal associates, went out from the back of the camp towards Ágra, and afterwards turned towards Mandú. Sadr Khán and 'Imádu-l Mulk went off with 20,000 horse direct to Mandú, and Muhammad Zamán Mirzá with another body went off towards Lahore, to raise disturbances. Great cries and clamour arose on that night from the Gujarátí camp; but the facts of the matter were not known to the Imperial army. The Emperor mounted and remained under arms till morning. It was not till one watch of the day had passed, that Sultán Bahádur's flight became known. The troops then entered the camp, and obtained great plunder. Khudáwand Khán, the tutor and minister of Sultán Bahádur, was taken prisoner. He was very graciously treated, and taken into the Emperor's service. Yádgár Násir Mirzá, Kásim Sultán, and Hindú Beg were sent in pursuit of the fugitives. ^{* * *} Sadr Khán and 'Imádu-l Mulk went straight to Mandú, and Humá-yún followed, and encamped before the fort. Rúmí Khán deserted from the Gujarátís, and came in to the Emperor, who bestowed a robe upon him. On the 14th (?), Sultán Bahádur entered the fort, and the question of peace came to be debated, and it was proposed that Gujarát and Chítor should remain in the hands of Sultán Bahádur, and that Mandú should be given up to the Emperor. These terms were finally agreed upon by the negociators on both sides. But on that night the garrison of the fort relaxed their guard, and a party of about two hun­dred soldiers of the Imperial army went to the back of the fortress, and scaled the walls by means of ladders and ropes. Jumping down from the walls, they opened the gate, and brought in their horses, and others followed. Mallú Khán, the com­mander of the batteries, a native of Mandú, who had the title of Kádir Sháhí, learnt what was passing, seized a horse, and went to Sultán Bahádur. He was asleep, but the cries of Mallú Khán aroused him, and he rushed out with three or four atten­dants. On his way he met Bhúpat Ráí, son of Silhadi, one of his councillors, with about twenty horse, whom he joined. On reaching the gate at the top of the maidán, they encountered a party of about 200 of the Imperial cavalry. Sultán Bahádur was the first to attack them. He was followed by some others, and he cut his way through, and went off with Mallú Khán and another attendant to the fort of Súngar.* He had his horses let down (the precipice of the town) by ropes. He himself followed through a thousand difficulties, and took the road to Gujarát. Kásim Husain Khán (an Imperial officer) was stationed near the fort, and an Uzbek servant of his, named Borí, who had previously been in Sultán Bahádur's service, recognized his old master, and told Kásim Husain, but he took no notice of it. So Sultán Bahádur escaped to Chámpanír, being joined on the way by about 1,500 men.

[Text, vol. i. p. 172.] [After the conquest of Ahmadábád and] the settlement of the affairs of Gujarát, Humáyún marched towards the port of Díú (in pursuit of Sultán Bahádur); but when he left Dandúka, which is about thirty kos from Ahmad-ábád, letters reached him from Ágra with the information that affairs had gone on badly since his departure from the capital, and that revolts had broken out in several quarters. News also came from Málwa, that Sikandar Khán and Mallú Khán had risen and attacked Mihtar Zambúr, the jágírdár of Hindia, who had removed into Ujjain with his property. The troops stationed at various places in the province had also gone into Ujjain, where they were besieged by the insurgents. Darwesh 'Alí, Kitábdár, the governor, was killed by a gunshot, and the garrison then capitulated. This intelligence determined Humáyún to fall back, and to take up his residence for a time at Mandú, whilst he cleared the province of Málwa of rebels, settled the affairs of the conquered country of Gujarát, and suppressed the revolts in the vicinity of the capital. He therefore placed Gujarát in charge of Mirzá 'Askarí.
