Intelligence now arrived that the Emperor Humayun had marched from Kabul to Hindustan, and had taken Lahore; so Sikandar gathered his forces and went towards that city. Ibrahim also collected a new army at Sambal, and went in the direction of Kalpi. 'Adali now sent Himun, the bakkal, who was his wazir, with a large army, and with 500 war-elephants and artillery, against Agra and Dehli. When Himun reached Kalpi, he resolved to dispose of Ibrahim first, and hastened to meet him. A great battle followed, in which Himun was victorious, and Ibrahim fled to his father at Bayana. Himun followed and invested Bayana, which he besieged for three months.
