He is not mentioned in the Ma'asir and the Tabaqat. From the Akbarnamah (II., p. 207) we see that he was Jagirdar of Sakit (in the Mainpuri District). Near this town there were eight villages inhabited by robbers. In consequence of numerous complaints, Akbar resolved to surprise the dacoits. A great number were killed, and about one thousand of them were burnt in dwellings in which they had fortified themselves. Akbar exposed himself to great dangers: no less than seven arrows stuck in his shield, and his elephant fell with one foot into a grain pit, which threw the officer who was seated behind him with much force upon him. The fight chiefly took place in a village called in the MSS. پاره or باهر.
The Tabaqat mentions a Sultan Ibrahim of Aubah (near Harat) among Akbar’s grandees. His name is not given in the Ain. He was the maternal uncle of Nizamuddin Ahmad, author of the Tabaqat. He conquered Kamaon and the Daman i Koh.
