37.3.1

And after the murder of Zafar Khan, he raised Husamu-d-Din who was half-brother to Khusru Khan to succeed to the position enjoyed by Zafar Khan and nominated him to proceed to Gujrat. Husamu-d-Din collected together the Barawar crew from all parts of that country and nursed a scheme of rebellion in his brain. The Amirs of Zafar Khan’s party however seized him and sent him to Dihli. The Sultan led by the feelings he entertained towards Khusru Khan took no steps to punish him but had him set at liberty on the instant and gave him extraordinary privileges. Then he appointed Malik Wahidu-d-Din Quraishi to Gujrat in place of Husamu-d-Din. He it was who was the cause of the arrest of Yaklakhi. Khusru Khan having arrived on the frontier of Telinga, and having blockaded the Rai of that country in one of his fortresses, accepted several head of elephants with treasure and valuables beyond all power of computation as a present from him, and moved his camp towards the Maithili country, and having gained possession of nine hundred and twenty elephants and a diamond weighing six dirams, came into the country of Ma'bar, and relying on that wealth entertained the idea of disobedience and rebellion, and obtaining permission to remain there, put to death several Amirs whom he had with him.
