Babar Padishah after gaining this signal victory departed thence, and reached Dihli on the same day and encamped there. He then caused the Khutbah to be read in his name, despatching Shahzada Muhammad Humayun Mirza and all the Amirs to Agra, with orders to make forced marches, and to seize the treasure belonging to Ibrahim, which was of untold value, and divide it among the soldiery. Verse. He who sacrifices his life upon the field of battle Sacrifice gold to him by way of generosity. However brave hearted a man may be He cannot be eager to fight when he is without food. This event took place in the year 932 H. (1525 A.D.), and the Hindus invented this date Shahid shudan-i-Ibrahim (the martyrdom of Ibrahim) to commemorate it. From that time the empire once more passed from the Afghan Lodi family, and rested on the descendants of Amir Timur Sahibqiran. The duration of the reign of Sultan Ibrahim was nine years.
