The territory of Sambal was conferred as a jaegir upon Shahzada Muhammad Humayun Mirza. The Amirs seized Qasim Sanbali and sent him to Babar, while another body of men had been sent against Baiana, and had besieged Nizam Khan, keeping him closely invested. In this year also Rana Sanka having wrested the fortress of Kiandar, which is in the vicinity of Rantanbhur, from Hasan son of Makhan, was in possession of it; and Shahzada Muhammad Humayun Mirza, with a party of Amirs who had been appointed to capture and hold Dholpur, were ordered to proceed against a body of Afghans of the Luhani faction who were close on fifty thousand, and had advanced beyond Qanauj. Both Saiyyid Mahdi Khwaja, and Muhammad Sultan Mirza, who had been ordered to capture Itawa, joined the retinue of the Shahzada, who brought into subjection the whole of the eastern districts as far as Jaunpur. In the meanwhile Rana Sanka and Hasan Khan Miwati raised to the throne one of the sons of Sultan Sikandar Lodi, named Sultan Muhammad, with the title of Padshah, and started on an expedition against the territories of Babar with a large following and vast army. Travelling by way of Basawar, they arrived in the neighbourhood of Fathpur, otherwise known as Sikri. Nizam the Governor of Baiana made representations to the Court of Babar and gained a certain degree of influence.
