Before setting out to visit Gwalior, a person had come from a Hindu named Asok, who was high in Bikramajit's confidence, with offers of submission and allegiance, expressing a hope that he would be allowed seventy lacs as an annuity. The bargain was concluded, and it was settled that, on delivering up the fort of Rantambhor, he should have parganas assigned him equal to what he had asked. After making this arrangement, I sent back his messengers. When I went to survey Gwalior, I made an appointment to meet his men in Gwalior. They were several days later than the appointed time. Asok, the Hindu, had himself been with Padmavati, Bikramajit's mother, and had explained to the mother and son everything that had passed. They approved of Asok's proceedings, and agreed to make the proper submissions, and to rank themselves among my subjects. When Rana Sanka defeated Sultan Mahmud and made him prisoner, the Sultan had on a splendid crown-cap and golden girdle, which fell into the hands of the Pagan, who, when he set Sultan Mahmud at liberty, retained them. They were now with Bikramajit. \* \* \* By the persons who came from him to wait on me, he now sent me this crown and golden girdle, and asked Bayana in exchange for Rantambhor. I diverted them from their demand of Bayana, and Shamsabad was fixed on as the equivalent for Rantambhor. - [Previous: 5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.1) - [Next: 5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.3) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.5.2) · Pramāṇa
