[Text, vol. ii. p. 31.] [In the year 966 the fort of Gwalior was taken. A slave of 'Adali's named Buhail Khan (Suhail), being besieged in the fort, made terms and surrendered the keys. The date was found in the words, Fath bah kil'ah Gwalior. In this same year another slave of 'Adali's, named Sangram Khan, sold the fort of Rantambhor into the hands of Sarjan Rai Hada. The facts of the matter are, that shortly before this, when His Majesty took up his abode at Agra, he sent a party of amirs, such as Hindu Beg Mughal, to reduce this fort. These amirs drove Sangram Khan before them, and ravaged the country round the fortress; but they were unable to accomplish their object.]
