Thus supported he assumed the title of "Sultán Sikandar," and led his forces against Ibráhím. The rival armies met at the village of Farra, ten kos from Agra. Sikandar's army did not exceed 10,000 horse, but Ibráhím had 70,000 horse and 200 persons to whom he had given velvet tents, banners, and kettle-drums. Sikandar offered peace, upon condition of receiving the government of the Panjab. But Ibrahim was proud of the great strength and preponderance of his army, so he rejected the peaceful overtures of Sikandar, and arrayed his army for battle. In the end Sikandar was victorious, and Ibrahim was compelled to fly to Sambal. Sikandar then became master of Agra and Dehli. - [Previous: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.4) - [Next: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.6) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.2.5) · Pramāṇa
