Sooltan Mahmood, rejoiced at having obtained this information, pardoned Mullik Isak, and detaching Taj Khan with a party of light cavalry to make forced marches to occupy Sarungpoor, followed with the main body to that place. Upon his arrival he conferred on Mullik Isak the title of Dowlut Khan, and paid him ten thousand tunkas from the royal treasury; he presented him at the same time with a standard and an honorary dress, and increased his pay. He also gave horses and other presents to several other officers, among whom he distributed a donation of fifty thousand tunkas. Intimation was now received that the Prince Oomr, having burned the town of Bhilsa, was advancing to the Sarungpoor frontier, and that Ahmud Shah, with thirty thousand cavalry, and three hundred elephants, had left Oojein, and was in full march to the same place. Sooltan Mahmood, perceiving the object was to hem him in between the Prince Oomr and the Guzerat army, determined to prevent this manœuvre, by attacking the Prince Oomr. - [Previous: 225.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.2.1) - [Next: 225.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.2.3) - [Up: 225.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.2.2) · Pramāṇa
