And Sultān Husain came from Itāwa to Badāon to perform the duties of mourning for and having taken those districts from the sons of Sultan 'Alau-d-Din, took possession of them himself, and thence went to Sambhal, and having taken prisoner Tatar Khan the Governor of that place, sent him to Saran, and with a large army and the number of elephants already mentioned, arrived at Dihli in the month of Zu-l-Hijjah, in the year 880 H. and encamped on the banks of the Jamna near the ford of Kicha. Sultan Buhlul coming from Sihrind summoned Husain Khan, the son of Khan-i-Jahan from the vicinity of Mirath, and despatched him to oppose Sultan Husain, while he himself held Dihli against him. And on this occasion also, owing to the exertions of Qutb Khan, Sultan Husain agreed to peace, taking into his own possession the whole of the country on the further side of the Ganges then relinquishing this side of the river to Sultan Buhlul he returned. Sultan Buhlul seized his opportunity, and when Sultan Husain marched, crossed the river Jamna and captured some baggage and other property which Sultan Husain, relying upon the truce, had left on the camping-ground; a certain proportion of the treasury also which was laden on elephants and horses, fell into the hands of Sultan Buhlul, and as many as forty noted Amirs of Sultan Husain's force, were taken prisoners, among others for instance, Qazi Sama'u-d-Din, entitled Qutlugh Khan the Vazir, who was the most learned of the doctors of his time.
