132.1.8

The Sultan, having returned to Balalah and Nikalah, near Lahor, and his forces having now increased, by the arrival of many of his old soldiers, to the number of about 10,000, but by no means sufficient to bring the ruler of Dihli to account, despatched a portion of his army against the Hills of Jud. That force defeated the Khokar [or more correctly, Khokhar] chief, erroneously styled Rae Kokar and Kokar by most writers [the Ghakhars are quite a distinct race], and returned with great booty. The Sultan demanded the chief’s daughter in marriage, which was readily acceded to; and, moreover, the Rae sent his son at the head of a considerable body of his tribe, to join the Sultan’s troops, and the title of Kutlagh, [some say Kulij] Khan was bestowed upon the latter.
