Muzaffar Khán followed them, and was informed by his scouts that a party of the rebels, in perfect ignorance of his approach, was seeking for a suitable position for earthworks. Muzaffar Khán left Khudádád in command of a small force, to secure his camp, and marched with the design of making the enemy's men prisoners. He fell suddenly upon them, and, after a short resistance, they fled precipitately. Many were killed, among whom was Táj Khán Panwár, whose head had been cut off and brought in by Hájí Pahlawán, without his knowing who the victim was. Jalál Khán Ghazní, one of their bravest chiefs, was taken prisoner, and many others were taken or slain. A complete victory was gained; but although nightfall and the thick growing trees prevented the destruction of the rebels' houses, many of the brave soldiers secured a good booty. Next morning the army advanced; but the enemy dispersed, and threw themselves into the river. Great numbers perished, but about 100 of the boldest succeeded in reaching the opposite shore. This revolt was thus entirely suppressed.
Soon after this, Satrí and Jatrí,* with a party of Afgháns, seized the opportunity to take possession of the country of Bakra. This is a populous district, thirty kos long and twenty kos broad, in the vicinity of Mongír, by the river Ganges. When Muzaffar Khán was informed of this outbreak, he marched to suppress it. A sharp action followed, in which Fath Khán, the commander of the insurgents, and seventy-nine of his men, fell. Muzaffar then occupied the country.
These successes of Muzaffar Khán made Mun'im Khán Khán-khánán averse to his remaining in that neighbourhood, so he sent an order directing him to repair immediately to Court. * * * * But while Muzaffar was chafing in vexation, a command arrived from the Emperor, ordering him to remain where he was, and carry on his work until recalled by an Imperial order. So he returned joyfully to Hájípúr, * * * and shortly afterwards the far-seeing Emperor, appreciating his services and merits, bestowed upon him the wide territory extending from the ford of Chaunsá to Garhí.
[Text, vol. iii. p. 138.] Rájá Todar Mal now arrived at Court, bringing with him fifty-four elephants, which had been taken in Bengal, in the campaign of Takrohi. These he presented, and he made a report upon the state of the country. He received many marks of favour, and was promoted to the dignity of díwán, and to the charge of the revenue and civil affairs of the Empire. He was an honest sincere man, and devoid of avarice. Would that he had been free from hatred and revenge, and that harshness had not been so conspicuous in his character!
