And in this defeat many were killed, and when the glittering soldiers of the army of the night had routed the troops of the day, Iqbal Khan and Sultan Mahmud leaving their families and friends in the bonds of shame and disgrace, took flight. Sultan Mahmud fled straight to Gujarat, and Iqbal Khan crossing the Jamna escaped to the town of Baran. On the following day the Great Timur gave quarter to the inhabitants of Dihli, receiving from them much valuable property and many presents as the price of quarter. In the meantime however, the people of the city killed some of the soldiers, accordingly on the fourth day he ordered all the inhabitants to be made prisoners, and took them all off towards Transoxiana, eventually Shaikh Ahmad Khattu whose tomb is well known at Sarkhez in Gujarat near to Ahmadabad, went along with the army and had an interview with the Great Timur, and made apparent to him his condition as a Darvesh, and his surpassing knowledge, moreover he argued with and confuted over and over again the learned doctors who were with the Transoxiana force, and begged for the prisoners’ lives. The Great Timur conceived such a strong liking for him that he acceded to his request and liberated all the prisoners.
