33.2.2

Ulugh Khan proceeded by continuous marches to his master at Dihli, and from this we gather that the massacre of the foreigners (above alluded to) took place after the arrival of Ulugh Khan from Gujrat. Historians have paid little attention to the due order of events, but God knows the truth. And in the year 699 H. (1299 A.D.) Ulugh Khan was nominated to proceed against the fortress of Rantanbhor and Jhain, which is better known as Nau-shahr, and Rai Hamir Dev, the grandson of Rai Pithora, who had ten thousand cavalry, and countless infantry, and celebrated elephants, gave him battle, but was defeated, and with great generalship withdrew the whole of his forces into the fortress of Rantanbhor.
