And in the year 906 H. (1500 A.D.) Asghar the Governor of Dihli began to commit malpractices. The Sultan accordingly sent orders from Sambal to Khawass Khan the Governor of Machhiwara, to seize Asghar and send him (into his presence); but Asghar anticipating this had gone humbly to Sambal where he suffered imprisonment; and Khawass Khan received the Governorship of Dihli. In this year also Khan-i-Khanan Farmuli the Governor of Baiana died, and the Government of that place was for some time entrusted to Ahmad and Suleiman the two sons (? grandsons) of Khan-i-Khanan. After a time they entered the Sultan's service at Sambal, and the Government of the fortress (of Biana) was made over to Khawas Khan, while Safdar Khan was appointed to the charge of Agra, which was one of the dependencies of Biana. Khawas Khan with the assistance of 'Alam Khan Governor of Miwat, and Khan Khanan Luhani proceeded to attempt the capture of Dholpur. The Rai of that place came out to oppose them, and heavy fighting ensued in which many Muslims attained martyrdom The Sultan leaving Sambal came with all haste to Dholpur, and Rai Manik Deo, Raja of Dholpur, not being able to hold out, evacuated the fort and went to Gwaliar They plundered and pillaged the district around Dholpur The Sultan having remained a month in those parts left to reduce Gwaliar, and leaving Adam Lodi there crossed the river Chambal, and encamped for two months on the banks of the river Mendaki.
