Rai and Governors and Commissioners, arrived at the capital. Summoning Maliku-l-Sharq Mardān Daulat, who held the title of Nasirul Mulk, from the district of Karra and Mahoba, he appointed him to the Multan district, with a view to close the door to Mughal intrigues. He then confirmed Karra and Mahoba together with all their dependencies upon the son of Maliku-l-Sharq Sulaiman the son of Malik Mardan, whose adopted son was Sayyid Khizr Khan, the grandfather of Sultan ‘Alau-d-Din Badaoni, who eventually succeeded to the kingdom of Dihli. And in the year 782 H. (1380 A.D.) he raised the standard for an expedition with the intention of taking vengeance on the Khukhar Chief of Kaithar, who had invited and put to death by treachery both Sayyid Muhammad and Sayyid ‘Alau-d-Din his brother, who were Governors of Badaon. The rebellious Khukhar fled towards the hills of Kumaon; accordingly after laying waste and plundering the whole of his country, he left Malik Khitab the Afghan in the country of Sambhal to deal with the rebellion of Khukhar, and turned back after having handed over Badaon to Malik Qabul; Qabulpura, which at present is a quarter of Badaon lying outside the fort, is called after his name; also he used to come every year for the purpose of sport and lay utterly waste the Kaithar country.
