The Memoirs of Bābur 2.2.6

2.2.6

After sending a detachment in pursuit of Ghazi Khan, I placed my foot in the stirrup of resolution, and my hand on the reins of confidence in God, and marched against Sultán Ibrahim, the son of Sultán Iskandar, the son of Sultán Bahlol Lodi Afghan, in whose possession the throne of Dehli and the dominions of Hindustan at that time were; whose army in the field was said to amount to 100,000 men, and who, including those of his amírs, had nearly 1000 elephants. * * * The detachment which had proceeded into Milwat, advanced against Harúr, Kahlúr and the forts in that part of the country, among which, from the natural strength of the ground, no enemy had penetrated for a long time before, took the whole of them and returned and joined me, after having plundered the inhabitants of the district. It was at this time that 'Álim Khán, being reduced to great distress, came naked and on foot to meet me. I directed several Begs and some noblemen of my Court to go out to receive him, and also sent him some horses. He waited upon me in this neighbourhood, and made his submission. * * *
