Maharana Sāngā. but offered to continue to serve him.¹ The weak Sultan, however, left Mandu² and fled towards Gujarāt. With the help of a Rajput named Kishna, he reached the village of Bhakorah, on the frontiers of Gujarāt, where the Gujarāt governor of Dohud received him hospitably and reported the matter to Sultan Muzaffar Shah at Ahmadabad. The latter sent Mahmud "the white canopy and the scarlet pavilion," signs of royalty, and a considerable body of troops. In a few days, Sultan Muzaffar himself followed with his army to reinstate Mahmud on his throne. Medni Rai expressed his sorrow at the folly of Mahmud in thus compromising the honour³ of Malwa, ¹ Brigg's Ferishta, Vol., IV, page 259. ² Ibid, page 259. Ferishta calls the Sultan "a fool in the cabinet." ³ The Mirati Sikandari says that though Mahmud fled, Medni Rai made no difference what- ever in the expenses of Mahmud's harem. Provisions and clothes, perfumes and money were supplied as before, and eunuchs attended to it as usual. Medni Rai declared in open Durbar that he had done nothing disloyal, and that they should write to the Sultan to return and assume care of the country and appoint another Vazier.—Bayley's Gujarāt, pp. 262-263. 69
