And when Malik Abtakin with a large force crossed the river Saru, and marched towards Lakhnauti, Tughral, too, with a large force came to encounter him. In that, in bravery and generosity, he was matchless, some nobles and soldiers deserting Amin Khan joined Tughral, so that on the day of engagement the force of Amin Khan was routed. And when Amin Khan being vanquished retreated to Oudh, the Emperor hearing of this became anxious and perplexed, ordered that Amin Khan should be hanged at the gate of Oudh, and afterwards appointed Malik Tarmini with a large force for destroying Tughral. And Tughral making a bold attack vanquished this force also, and obtained much booty. Owing to strength of fortune, that rampant lion, Twice routed the army of the enemy. - [Previous: 41.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.41.1) - [Next: 41.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.41.3) - [Up: 41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.41) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.41.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.41.2) · Pramāṇa
