to avenge the disaster. When his prepara-
tions were complete, he sent his generalissimo,
Zafar Khan, to plunder the eastern part of
Mewar.
The Rao of Begoon, Haḍa Chachikdeva,
sent intelligence to the Maharana of the
capture by Zafar Khan of Kotah, Bhainsror
and Sheopur. The Maharana, collecting a
large army and accompanied by the Rajas
and governors of Aser, Raisen, Chanderi,
Narwar, Boondi, Amber, Sambhar, Ajmer,
Chatsoo, Lalsot, Marot, Toda and other places,
started for Mandalgarh. A sanguinary battle
took place, in which Zafar Khan lost almost
all the notable chiefs of his army. He fled
to Mandu, pursued by the Maharana, who
sacked Khairabad (near Mandu). Here
Sultan Ghiyasuddin sent ambassadors with
peace offerings. The Maharana accepted the
nazarana and returned to Chitor.¹

war, probably because it was throughout disastrous to the
Sultan. He says that Ghiyasuddin did not leave Mandu

up to luxury and ease (Vol. IV., p. 236). This, however,
is not a fact. The Rai Mal Rāsā (unpublished) which
relates these wars is the work of a contemporary writer
