6 Submiffion and death o/'Rana Radgee Mardout,
Array,was taken as afpye; his counterfeit Letters being read, their lying contents
fo aitonilhed the General, that without more confultation they prefently divide the
Army quit fuch places as they had placed Garrifons in, with confufed hafte march
ing back into their own Country, and each Captain to his former Quarter. Sultan
Vervtees marches to Bramyore-) jibdnl-chan to Snratj and Chan jlfem towards gi
ving Amber eafie re-admittance to his Towns and Caftles $ which otherwife in all pro-
babflity would hardly, at lealt not fpeedily have been recovered. But fo foon as
jamheer had intelligence of that deceit, he becomes inraged at their fimple credulity,
threatning their puniihment, and then intreating Mahobet-chan to go Governour to
Bramtore. Who having received his Commiffion repairs thither ^ where he was with
joyful acclamations received: Such was Mahohefs difcretion that from thence he em
ploys what force he had, in fhort fpace fubduing Berar •, after which he enters Decan
without any confiderable lofs as far as Kerchy, where JbduUhan's Army had been the
year before •, by that fecond inroad making Decan a molt miferable Country ^ and
loaden with'abundant fpoils returns to Brampore with Vidory. Which good luccefs,
when it came to Jan^hecrs ears, made amends for his laft years failings^ And further,
when (by Cmroons mediation, having firft by many battels and purfuits tired him) Rana
Radjea prefents himfelf, his Son, and many gifts unto the King, amongft which an Ele
phant valued at 100000 Roopees, fubmitting ail he had to Jangheer to be difpofed of ^
who heartily forgiving, embraces him with affedion, offers to nis Son his Daughter in
marriage, and returns him the Government of Tormandel (Form his Country,) Oodcpore,
and other places: But foon after (whether for grief he had fubmitted, for whien he
fufFered reproach fufficient, or fome other caufe) died, and with much ceremony and
hymns in a doleful manner fung to his memory, in a Sepulchre amongft his Noble Pro
genitors this great Prince was at Chytor buried.
Jangheer the mean time having confumed eighteen months in pleafure at Mando (fixty
courfes from Brampore, and above twice as much from Amadavad,) departs, and in
progrefs comes to Amadavad ; where he difcharged AbduLchan from that Command,
but ordains him Viceroy of Calpi and Khoor : and after twelve months paftime mere re
turns to Agray, Anno 994. and of our account 1614. That year Chabeeg Governour of
Candahor was dilplaced (by reafon of his age) and Badar-chan made Commander there.
fTkgdiat -chan alfo was fent to fucceed Tz.alam~chawn in Bengala: But at that time Oxjnan-
cmn a Tuttanian with a numerous Army befieging Daec (the Metropolis) he and Etha-
man-chawn with fifteen thouland men gave O^man battel, which was bravely fought on
both fides; but by reafon of a mad Elephant on which fate, T&ediat-chan was
unhorfed and maimed, yea the Moguls Forces difcomfited: but by ftrange chance a
wounded man feeing Ounan. pafs by transfixes him with his Lance, and by that mif-
chance the Puttans retreat, and at length flye, the Moguls not only recovering Daeck,
but piercing into the very heart of the Gentiles Country they captivate his Wife and
Children, forraging at pleafure, and making all his Wealth (which was very great, and
fent to Agray) a teftimony of their Valour as well as Vidory. That year the Mogul
journied to Lahore with his Lefcar.
AbduLchawn after feven weeks march arrives at Calpi-, where, and of Koor he was
to receive the Government. He ftraightway executed his Commiffion, in finall time
quieting and deftroying thofe fwarms of rebellious Rajhboots, which till then there
abounded-, he levelled alfo the molt defenfive places with the ground, and made fale
of fo many of the Inhabitants as paid the Charges of the War, amounting to 200000
Roopees and upwards. Chan Afem alfo about this time went Ambaflador from Jang-
Afem^ heer to Abbas the Perfian. Not any Ambaflador in mans memory went more richly
ml " r " difpatcht with Prefents or more bravely attendedj He prefented the King (then at
Spahawn) with twelve Chefts of choice Linen, two other Chefts filled with Shalhes
woven with Gold and Silk and Silver, many Daggers whofe Hafts were fet with Stones
of value, eftimated at 70000 Roopees; and for difcharge of his own port and tra
vel had an allowance out of the Moguls Exchequer of fixty thoufand Roopees, the
better to reprefent the Majeity of fo great an Emperour. Abbas entertains the Am-
balfadour nobly, cloys him with invitations, fliows, fports, and other paftimesand
at his departure makes five hundred Cofelbafhes with Alicdicawn Rnjlan-beg and other
Noblemen attend him two days journey upon his way towards Candahar recommend
ing his well-wifhes to the Mogul in a Princely return of five hundred Couriers, twen
ty Mules, five hundred Afles of great value, one hundred and fifty Dromedaries (or
Coofelbaih Camels,) eighteen Chefts or of choice Carpets and Bezars, twenty
Camels
