After four months and fourteen days, the army marched from Lahore to Dehli. Upon reaching Jalandhar a halt was made, and Khan-khanan was married to Sultan Begam, daughter of Mirza Nuru-d din, who was a son of the sister of the late Emperor Humayun. The Emperor Humayun, during his lifetime, had promised her to the Khan-khanan, and now, under the orders of the Emperor Akbar, the union was accomplished. Khan-khanan gave a splendid banquet, to which he invited His Majesty, who was graciously pleased to honour it with his presence. The Khan was profuse in his generosity on the occasion. At the beginning of the third year of the Ilahi, the army recommenced its march for Dehli.
