The peasantry and soldiers of the country avoided and fled from my men. Afterwards, everywhere, except only in Dehli and Agra, the inhabitants fortified different posts, while the governors of towns put their fortifications in a posture of defence, and refused to submit or obey. Kasim Sambali was in Sambal, Nizam Khan in Bayana, the Raja Hasan Khan Mewatti himself in Mewat. That infidel was the prime mover and agitator in all these confusions and insurrections. Muhammad Zaitun was in Dhulpur, Tatar Khan Sarang-Khani in Gwalior, Husain Khan Lohani in Rabri, Kutb Khan in Etawa, and in Kalpi 'Ali Khan. Kanauj, with the whole country beyond the Ganges, was entirely in the possession of the refractory Afghans, such as Nasir Khan Lohani, M'aruf Farmuli, and a number of other amirs who had been in a state of open rebellion for two years before the death of Ibrahim. At the period when I defeated that prince, they had overrun, and were in possession of Kanauj and the countries in that quarter, and had advanced and encamped two or three marches on this side of Kanauj. - [Previous: 2.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.2.5.4) - [Next: 2.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.2.5.6) - [Up: 2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.2.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.2.5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.2.5.5) · Pramāṇa
