32.2.4

‘Alau-d-Din the Governor of Karra, obtained permission in that year to proceed to Bhilsa and attacked that country and brought much booty thence to present to the Sultan, and the idol which was the object of worship of the Hindus, he caused to be cast down in front of the gate of Badaon to be trampled upon by the people. These services of ‘Alau-d-Din being highly approved, the jagir of Oudh also was added to his other estates; and since ‘Alau-d-Din was very angry and incensed against the Sultan’s consort, who was his mother-in-law, and against the daughter of the Sultan, because she always made a practice of speaking ill of him to her father, he was anxious, on any pretext whatever, to leave the Sultan’s dominions and go to a distance, and find some place of refuge for himself; accordingly he provided himself with new servants, and making all preparations as to personal clothing and furniture, he asked the Sultan to bestow upon him the district of Chanderi, and leaving Dihli came to Karra, and from there under the pretence of attacking Chanderi, he went by way of Illichpur, and made for the frontiers of the country of Deogir; leaving Malik ‘Alau-l-Mulk who was one of his friends, as his deputy in Karra, and having instructed him to temporise with the Sultan, went off somewhere unknown to anyone, and when no news could be obtained of Malik ‘Alau-d-Din’s whereabouts for a considerable time, the Sultan was exceedingly sorry.
