And in the year 754 H. (1353 A.D.) he returned from Kalanor whither he had gone on a hunting expedition, and built a lofty building on the banks of the river Sarsuti and [gave it to Shaikh Sadru-d-Din Multani, may God sanctify his resting place, the Shaikhu-l-Islam] and Malik Qubul Naib Vazir he made Khan-i-Jahan, and at the close of this year he went to Lakhnauti with the intention of putting down the rebellion of Haji Ilyas who had assumed the title of Shamsu-d-Din. He accordingly took refuge in the fort of Ikdala, which is the strongest of the forts of Bangala, and after a desultory defence fought for a very short time, and threw his elephants and his material of war, with his servants and retainers to the winds, and all of them fell into the hands of the Sultan who, having made peace with him because of the rainy season, retraced his steps. And in the year 755 H. (1354 A.D.) having crossed by the ford of Manikpur he arrived at Dihli and built Firuzabad on the banks of the Jauna. And in the year 756 H. (1355 A.D.) he went to Dipalpur and bringing a canal from the river Satlaj led it as far as the Jahjar which is forty-eight kroh from there.
