(_Author's note on Daulat Khān Yūsuf-khail._) This Tātār Khān, the father of Daulat Khān, was one of six or seven _sardārs_ who, sallying out and becoming dominant in Hindūstān, made Buhlūl Pādshāh. He held the country north of the Satluj (_sic_) and Sahrind,[1409] the revenues of which exceeded 3 _krūrs_.[1410] On Tātār Khān's death, Sl. Sikandar (_Lūdī_), as over-lord, took those countries from Tātār Khān's sons and gave Lāhūr only to Daulat Khān. That happened a year or two before I came into the country of Kābul (910 AH.). (_l. Bābur's journey resumed._) (_Feb. 22nd_) Next morning foragers were sent to several convenient places; on the same day I visited Bhīra; and on the same day Sangur Khān _Janjūha_ came, made offering of a horse, and did me obeisance. (_Feb. 23rd_) On Wednesday the 22nd of the month, the headmen and _chauderis_[1411] of Bhīra were summoned, a sum of 400,000 _shāhrukhīs_[1412] was agreed on as the price of peace _(māl-i-amān)_, and collectors were appointed. We also made an excursion, going in a boat and there eating a confection.
