50.2.4

Mubarak Shah, who had crossed the river Jamna at the ford of Nuh Patah, and had attacked Jartauli, on arrival at the township of Atrauli received intelligence that Mukhtasa Khan the brother of Sharqi had arrived on the borders of Itawa with an army and many elephants; Mubarak Shah detailed Maliku-sh-Sharq Mahmud Hasan with ten thousand cavalry to oppose Mukhtass Khan. Mukhtass Khan joined hands with Sharqi who proceeded along the banks of the Black-Water, otherwise known as the Kalini, and arrived in the vicinity of the township of Burhanabad one of the dependencies of Itawa. Mubarak Shah marching from Atrauli encamped at the town of Kota, but declined battle and withdrew towards Rapri, and thence, after crossing the Jamna, proceeded to Bamau and encamped on the bank of the river of Kanbhar. Mubarak Shah pursued him as far as Chandwar, a space of four krohs lay between the two armies so that the outposts of the forces could see each other. They remained thus confronting each other for twenty days, at last Sharqi came out in force, and from midday till nightfall hard fighting went on between the two armies, and the event was not decided on that day, on the following day Sharqi turned back towards his own country, and Mubarak Shah, considering that both sides were Muslims, no longer pursued him, but went towards Satgma, and having conquered that country followed the bank of the Chambal river and came down to Baiana.
