Muntakhab al-tawarikh 65.1.4

65.1.4

After this heaven-given victory and unforeseen triumph, ‘Adli proceeded to Chunar and appointed Himun, who was the commander-in-chief of his army, with abundant treasure and a countless host, elephants of renown, an ornament to the array and a terror to the enemy, to repel the forces of the Mughal which had taken possession of the country as far as Itawa and Agra, as will be presently related if God Most High so will it. Just at this juncture Khizr Khan, the son of Muhammad Khan Gauria, who had been killed, succeeded his father in Kor, issuing the currency and reading the khutba in his own name, with the style and title of Sultan (Muhammad) Bahadur, and collecting a huge army to revenge his father’s death, came up against ‘Adli, who notwithstanding his distress fought bravely on that field, and contrary to expectation met with fierce resistance. After fighting manfully ‘Adli was killed, and joined Muhammad Khan whose life-blood was yet freshly spilled, fighting in hot blood. This event occurred in the year 962 H. and Gauria bikusht was its chronogram. Verse.
