49.3.3
Sultan Ibrahim went towards Jaunpur, and Sultan Mahmud towards Dihli, but seeing that the Amirs of Sultan Mahmud's army one after the other left for their own districts as they came to them in the march, Sultan Ibrahim turned back and besieged Qanauj; Malik Mahmud Tarmati, who was holding Qanauj for Sultan Mahmud, kept Sultan Ibrahim engaged in fighting for four months, but when he saw that no reinforcements were arriving from any quarter, he was forced to sue for peace, and surrendered Qanauj to Sultan Ibrahim. Sultan Ibrahim passed the rainy season at Qanauj, and then having made over that district to Ikhtiyar Khan the grandson of Malik Daulat Yar of Kanpila, started to reduce Dihli.
