Muntakhab al-tawarikh 2: Ibrahim, son of Sikandar Lodi.

2

[Text, vol. i. p. 327.] Rai Bikramajit, who succeeded his father Rai Man Singh in the possession of Gwalior, found himself unable to withstand the royal troops, and was obliged to surrender the lofty edifice of Badalgarh, one of the forts dependent on Gwalior, and built by Man Singh. On this occasion, a brazen figure which was worshipped by the Hindus fell into the hands of the Musulmans, which they sent to Agra. Sultan Ibrahim forwarded it to Dehli, and placed it before one of the gates of the city. Ten years before the compilation of this history, in the year 992, it was brought to Fathpur, where the compiler of this work saw it. Gongs, and bells, and all kinds of implements were subsequently manufactured from the metal of which it was composed. In those days Sultan Ibrahim, entertaining suspicions against his old nobles, fettered and imprisoned most of them, and transported others to various distant places.
