and many nobles of the Dehly court, having
fled from the Emperor Babur, sought protection
with Bahadur Shah. The King now went to
Mahrasa, where he was met by Khoodabunda
Khan, and many other officers; he then marched
to Wagur, and having reduced that province,
placed civil and military officers in the different
towns to collect the tribute. Pursaram, Raja of
Wagur, submitted to the King, while his son
became a convert to the Mahomedan faith, and
was received into the King's household; but
Jugut Ray, the brother of the Raja, first fled
to the hills, and then joined Rana Ruttun, the son
of the late Rana Sanka of Chittoor, with whom
he found a temporary asylum. Shortly afterwards,

On the night of the 9th of Shaban, in
the year 937, Bahadur Shah in person,
with a small party of select men, escaladed

number of Mahomedan women. On the 5th of Jumad-ool-Awul the King moved from Mando to Nalcha, when Bhowput the son of Silhuddy, then in Bahadur Shah's service, supposing the King to be on his return to Guzerat, requested permission to go to Oojein and see his father, and to bring him to the presence to pay his respects. The King assented without hesitation, conceiving that Silhuddy

could have no intimation of his design.
On the 19th of the same month the King
encamped at D'har, where having left
the army, he proceeded, as if on a hunting-party,
towards Bensrode and Shoojalpoor: at
the latter place he was met by Silhuddy, who had
left his son Bhowput with his family in Ooojein.
Ameer Nuseer, the chief who had been sent to accompany
Silhuddy, assured the King that the fidelity
of the Hindoo chief was not to be depended on,
and that, before he could be persuaded to come at
all, Ameer Nuseer had ventured to promise him the
government of the district of Cambay and a crore
of tunkas, previously to which, Silhuddy had made
preparations to fly to Seevas. On the King's return
to D'har, having consulted his nobles, he caused
Silhuddy to be seized and confined with two of his
domestics, one of whom made some resistance; but
finding it of no avail, he slew himself with his dagger,
and fell dead at his master's feet, after declaring he
could not live to witness his disgrace. When this
circumstance became known at Oojein, Bhowput,
the son of Silhuddy, fled, accompanied by many of
his tribe, leaving Oojein to be plundered by the
Mahomedans. On the following day Bahadur
Shah marched to that city, and having placed
Duria Khan, one of the officers of the late Malwa
government, in charge, he proceeded to Sarung-
