Mubarak Shāh left that place and marched towards Gwalior, but Alp Khān proceeding along the banks of the Chambal river would not permit the army of Mubarak Shāh to cross; however the soldiers of Mubarak Shāh crossed by another ford, scattered the forces of Alp Khān, and returned triumphant. This engagement led to a peaceful settlement, and Alp Khān sent in many presents and returned towards Dhār, while Mubarak Shāh proceeded to Dihli. And in the year 827 H. (1423 A.D.) he again ordered an expedition towards the hills of Kumaon and Kaithar, on returning whence he laid waste Titāwat. In this year a severe famine occurred throughout the whole of Hindūstān. In the year 828 H. he again proceeded towards Mewāt and reduced the fortresses of Indor and Alwar. And in the year 830 H. he took Bayana from Khan Auhadi, and sent the family of Auhadi to the palace known as Jahan Numa, and assigned it to them as a residence. He then gave Bayana to Malik Muqbil Khan one of his retainers, and Sikri to Malik Khairu-d-Din Tuhfa, while he himself led an army against Gwalior receiving the submission of the Rais of that district. And in the year 831 H. (1427 A.D.) ambassadors arrived in Dihli from Qadir Khan, governor of Kalpi, bringing tidings that Sharqi was besieging him. Mubarak Shah marched to oppose Sharqi; but in the meantime tidings arrived that Sharqi had attacked Bhungaon and was encamped there, intending to proceed to Badaon.
