Muntakhab al-tawarikh 64.5

64.5

When Ibrahim saw that the field remained empty and that his troops were scattered like motes in a sunbeam, he realised that Sikandar himself was present with the opposing army, so yielding to necessity he proceeded to Itawa. His canopy and all his regalia were taken. Sikandar pursued him as far as Itawa, where he heard that Jannat Ashiyani had reached Hindustan. retracing his steps thence he proceeded by continuous marches as far as Sihrind, he eventually fought a battle there and was defeated. Ibrahim leaving there went to Sambal, and collecting an army procured a fresh gold-embroidered canopy, and a month later crossed (the river) with a force of three thousand sowars by the ford of Kistl, and (?) made towards Kalpi in order that having collected a fresh army, he might fight ‘Adli again. At this juncture ‘Adli had appointed Himun the grocer, who was his vazir and uncontrolled agent, and had sent him from Chinhar with certain eminent Amirs, and five hundred elephants like storm clouds (for blackness), and unlimited treasure to proceed to Agra and Dilhi.
