54.3

Sultan Sharq the Governor of Baiana, the son of Sultan Ahmad Jilwani the Rival, came and visited him, and was desirous of handing over the key of the fort to the agents of the Sultan; however he changed his mind, and on arrival at Baiana strengthened the defences of the fort. The Sultan proceeded to Agra where Haibat Khan Jilwani, a subordinate of Sultan Sharf fortified himself in the fort of Agra. The Sultan left certain of his Amirs in Agra and proceeded to Baiana and in the year 897 H. (1491 A.D.) Sultan Sharq fell into straits and sued for quarter, surrendering the fortress of Baiana to the Sultan; that province was then conferred upon Khan-i-Khanan Farmuli. In the same year the tribe of Bachgotis in the Jaunpur territory had assembled to the number of a hundred thousand cavalry and infantry, and were raising a disturbance. The Sultan proceeded thither and Barbak Shah came in and offered his allegiance.
