==Background==
At last in Muharrum H. 927, December A.D. 1520, the Sultan sent Malik Ayaz with an army of 100,000 cavalry, 100 elephants against Mewar. Another army, consisting of 20,000 horse and 20 elephants was sent under Qiwam-ulmulk to co-operate with Malik Ayaz. Both these armies marched to [[Modasa]]. While they were encamped there, the Sultan, according to the Tabqati Akbari, sent reinforcements under Taj Khan and Nizamul-mulk. The Sultans army ravaged [[Dungarpur]] and advanced towards [[Banswara]].<ref>The Hindupat, the Last Great Leader of the Rajput Race. 1918. Reprint. London pg 84-86</ref>

==Aftermath==
[[Malik Ayaz]] foreseeing the ruin of his forces in the prolongation of the struggle made peace and fell back on [[Khiljipur]], and eventually retreated to Gujarat.<ref>The Hindupat, the Last Great Leader of the Rajput Race. 1918. Reprint. London pg 84-86</ref> The Sultan is said to have received Malik Ayaz coldly when the latter waited on him at [[Chapaneri]]. The Mirati Sikandari says that not only was the Sultan very cold to Ayaz, but that all the people of [[Gujarat]] called him a [[coward]].<ref>Bayleys Gujarat pg 275</ref>
