190.2.6
According to the A’in-i-Akbari, the Subah of Bangalah from Gadhi to the port of Chatganw [Chittagong] is 400 kuroh in breadth; and, from the mountains bounding it on the north to the uncultivated tract vessels [war-boats ?] up the river. A treaty of peace was concluded between them, and the Sultan [I-yal-timish] extorted thirty-eight elephants and eighty laks of treasure, and the Khutbah was read for him, and the coin stamped in his name. When the Sultan [I-yal-timish] withdrew, he conferred Bihar upon Malik ’Izz-ud-Din, Jani; and Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, ’Iwaz, marched into Bihar from Lakhanawati, and [again] took possession of it, and treated it with severity, until, in the year 624 H., the august Malik, Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah, son of Sultan Shams-ud-Din [I-yal-timish], at the instigation of Malik ’Izz-ud-Din, Jani, assembled the forces of Hindustan, and marched from Awadh and proceeded into Lakhanawati. At this time Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, ’Iwaz-i-Husain, the Khalj, had led an army from Lakhanawati towards the territory of Kamrud and Bang, and had left the city of Lakhanawati unprotected. Malik Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah, took possession of it; and Ghiyas-ud-Din, ’Iwaz-i-Husain, the Khalj, on account of that disaster, returned from that force [which he had led into Kamrud and Bang], and fought an engagement with Malik Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah. Ghiyas-ud-Din, Iwaz-i-Husain, and the whole of the Khalj Amirs, were taken prisoners, and Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Iwaz, was martyred.
