(1297 A.D.), Nusrat Khān having been appointed to the office of Vazir, used strenuous efforts to recover the money which Sultan 'Alau-d-Din had lavished in the commencement of his reign in order to gain over the affections of the people; and demanding the repayment of very large sums deposited them in the treasury; and having summoned from Karra, 'Alāu-l-Mulk the uncle of Ziau-d-Din Barnī, the author of the Tārīkh-i-Fīroz (whom Sultan 'Alau-d-Din had removed from the kotwalship of Dihli and had sent as governor to Karra, appointing Nusrat Khan to the office of Kotwal) he conferred upon him his old rank: Alp Khān being appointed to Multan. And in the year 698 A.H. (1298 A.D.) one Saldi, a Mughal commander, crossing the Indus came towards Hindustān, and Ulugh and Tughlaq Khan the governor of Depālpūr (who is Ghāzi Malik), were appointed to put down that rising, and offered strong opposition to them on the confines of Jāran Manjhūr. The Mughal army was defeated, some of them were killed and others taken prisoners, and the army of Sultan 'Alau-d-Din returned victorious with many spoils. A second time Qutluq Khwaja, the son of Dua, came from Mawaran-n-nahr with a countless host to attempt the conquest of Hindustan, and penetrated as far as Dihli, inflicting no injury on the districts through which he passed.
