'Adli despatched 'Isa Khan Niyazi after Ibrahim Khan, and they fought a battle in the vicinity of Kalpi, the breeze of victory fanned the standards of Ibrahim Khan, and he gained the day. Then having assembled a large following, and entering that country, he proclaimed himself sovereign. 'Adli thereupon disengaged himself from the Karranis, and came against Ibrahim Khan to attack him, and when he arrived near the river Jam, Ibrahim Khan made overtures, and sent a message saying, "If Rai Husain Jalwani, and Bihar Khan Sarwani, to whom Islam gave the title of A'zam Humayun, with some others of the Amirs noble and renowned, will come and reassure me, then will I in reliance upon their assurances agree to make submission to you.” ‘Adli accordingly sent them, and no sooner had they arrived than they gave in their allegiance to Ibrahim Khan, giving him the title of Sultan Ibrahim, and thus putting a different complexion upon the dispute, raised the standard of insurrection against ‘Adli. The Khutbah was read in the name of Ibrahim Khan in Agra and certain other districts, while ‘Adli, realising that he was not able to cope with him, left Gwaliar for Bhatta, and thence returned towards Chunar taking with him large amounts of treasure, many elephants and a large following.
