And in the year 810 H. (1407 A.D.) Nusrat Khan Karkandaz, and Tatar Khan the son of Sarang Malik Marhaba the slave of Iqbal Khan, turned against Sultan Mahmud and joined Sultan Ibrahim, and Asad Khan Lodi fortified himself in Sambhal. The following day Sultan Ibrahim reduced the fortress of Sambhal and gave it to Tatar Khan: then crossing the Ganges he encamped on the banks of the Jamna near the fort of Kicha in the vicinity of Dihli, where he learned that Zafar Khan had taken the district of Dhar and was making his way to Jaunpur; accordingly leaving Malik Marhaba in Baran, he reached Jaunpur by continuous marches; Sultan Mahmud pursued him and having killed Malik Marhaba in battle, and taking Sambhal without a fight, left there Asad Khan after his usual custom. Tatar Khan marched to Qanauj and the Sultan came to Dihli. And in this year Khizr Khan came with a large force and drove Daulat Khan out of Samana. The Amirs of that district all sought an interview with him, and the whole country as far as to the outskirts of Dihli fell into his hands; only Rohtak and the Doab remained in the possession of Sultan Mahmud.
