20.2.6

He did not approve of having to live in Lahore with Sultan Qutbu-d-Din, and joined hands with Malik Husainu-d-Din Ughul Beg ruler of the country between the two rivers (The Do-ab) and the country beyond the river Ganges, and Kanpilah and Patiali were allotted as his reward. He proceeded to Oudh and conquered that country and having taken large booty Sultan Qutbu-d-Din sent him royal honours and a banner of Sultanship. He then brought many presents to the court of the Sultan, and received great favours and distinctions; the grandees of the court seeing they were powerless against him, became envious of him, and instigated the Sultan to such an extent that one day he made him fight with a rogue elephant, but he struck the elephant so hard upon the trunk with a heavy club that the elephant turned and fled. The Sultan was overwhelmed with astonishment to see this, and nominated and appointed him ruler of the whole country of Lakhnauti in Bengala and sent him away. In the second year after this arrangement Muhammad Bakhtyar brought an army from Behar towards Lakhnauti and arrived at the town of Nudiya with a small force. Nudiya is now in ruins.
