On the Emperor being informed of Khan-khanan's advance towards the Panjab, he despatched Shamsu-d din Muhammad Khan Atka, his son Yusuf Khan, Husain Khan a relation of Shahabu-d din Ahmad Khan, and a body of nobles to the Panjab. When the royal forces reached the town of Dagdar, and proceeded from thence to the pargana of Kona, they hemmed in Khan-khanan, so that he was obliged to fight. Compelled to action, he drew up his forces, and confronted the royal army. A sharp action ensued, with considerable loss to both sides, and Khan-khanan, being defeated, fled towards the Siwalik hills. Wali Beg Zu-l Kadar and his son Isma'il Kuli Beg (who now holds a position among the great nobles), Ahmad Beg, Ya'kub Beg Hamadani, and all his brothers, were taken prisoners, and great booty fell into the hands of the royal troops. This victory was gained in the fifth year of the Ilahi, agreeing with 967 A.H.
