He next wrested the fortress of Chinar together with its vast treasures from the sons of Jamal Khan Sarang-Khani Taj Khan, one of the Amirs of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi, who some years before had regained possession of it, and took in marriage his wealthy and beautiful wife who had vast stores of treasure. This fact also enhanced his grandeur and dignity, so that the desire for sovereignty daily gained more ascendency over his mind, till at last certain powerful Amirs of the Afghan Lodi faction summoned from Chitor Sultan Mahmud, son of Sultan Sikandar Lodi, who, after raising Hasan Khan Miwati and Rana Sanka to royal power, had induced him to fight with Babar Padshah, and subsequently to his defeat had remained in the fortress of Chitor, and seated him upon the throne in Patna. He accordingly came with a vast army and invaded the country of Bihar, and wresting it from Shir Khan took possession of it. Shir Khan was perforce compelled to BuTmiit, and entered his service, and taking leave came to Sahsaram. Sultan Mahmud passing by Sahsaram, after writing and making over to Shir Khan an agreement relating to Bihar, thereby raising his hopes, despatched him to attempt the conquest of Jaunpur and to engage in war with the Amirs of Humayun Padshah. He thus brought the whole of that province as far as Lakhnau into his own power. The Amirs of Humayun Padshah could not stand against Shir Khan, and proceeding to Kalpi gave in their allegiance to him.
