And in the year 761 H. (1359-60 A.D.) the Sultan proceeded by continuous marches by way of Panduah to Jaunpur where he spent the rains, and at the close of this year he marched with a lightly equipped force by way of Behar towards Jajnagar, and sent his elephants and baggage to Karra; by uninterrupted marches arrived at Satgarh the Rai of which place withdrew, and thence he came to Baranasi which was the abode of the Chief Rai, and crossed the river Mahanadi, and the Rai of Baranasi having taken to flight made with all haste for Tilang. The Sultan pursued him, part of the way turned back to hunt, and arrived at the country of Rai Parihan Dev who sent a present of thirty-two elephants and other costly offerings. From thence the Sultan coming to Padmavati and Baram Talao which was the haunt of elephants of enormous size, engaged in hunting them and killed two [and they took the other three alive] and Malik ‘Ain-ul-Mulk wrote a quatrain upon this.

And thence by way of Karra he returned with all possible haste.
