In two days after leaving Dehlī he arrived in the midst of the territory of Kaithar and put to death every male, even those of eight years of age, and bound the women, and inflicted such chastisement that up till the reign of Jalālu-d-Dīn the territories of Badāon and Amroha remained safe from the ravages of the Kaitharīs, and he threw open all the wilds of Bihār and Jaunpūr, and all the roads of the Eastern part of India which were closed, and made over the territory of Miwāt, which lies in the Doāb, to strong handed governors, with orders to put to death the rebels, which they did, imprisoning some. Then he made an attack in the direction of the country at the foot of the Sīmūr hills, and built a fort on those boundaries, and having called it Hisar-i-Nau (New Castle) proceeded to the Jud hills, and brought an army towards Lahor, and rebuilt the castle of Lahor which had been laid waste by the Mughuls in the reign of Sultan Mu'izzu-d-Din Bahram Shah. Here he became ill, and the news of his illness reached the confines of Lakhnauti, and Tughral, Naib of Amin Khan, who had been appointed to succeed Sher Khan in that district, laid the foundation of rebellion, and fought with his master Amin Khan and came off victorious, and having imprisoned him gathered round himself the paraphernalia of royalty, and gave himself the title of Mu‘izzu-d-Din, and completely defeated some imperial troops which had been sent to oppose him.
