Death
The Akbarnama tells that when Akbar was marching towards the fort with his army after his military victory, an elephant of his army accidentally trampled a person. When a mahout brought him to Akbar, the man was later identified as Patta.[2][6]
H.M. (His majesty) related that he had come near the temple of Gobind Syām when an elephant-driver trampled a man under his elephant. The elephant rolled him up in his trunk and brought him before H.M. The driver said that he did not know the man's name, but that he appeared to be one of the leaders, and that a large number of men had fought round him with sacrifice of their lives. At last it came out that it was Patā who had been trampled to death. At the time he was produced, there was a breath of life left in him, but he shortly afterwards died. ~ Akbarnama by Abu'l Fazl
