In the year 642 H. the infidels of Jaj-nagar appeared before the gate of Lakhanawati; and, on the 1st of the month of Zi-Hijjah, Malik Kamar-ud-Din, Ki-ran-i-Tamur Khan, with troops and Amirs, in conformity with the commands of Sultan ’Ala-ud-Din, Mas’ud Shah, arrived at Lakhanawati. Between him and Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan distrust showed itself, and, on Wednesday, the 6th of the month of Zi-Ka’dah of the same year, an accommodation took place, and he [Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan] relinquished Lakhanawati to Malik Ki-ran-i-Tamur Khan, and determined to proceed to Dihli. The writer of this book, in his company, reached the capital on Monday, the 14th of the month of Safar, 643 H., and permission to pay homage at the sublime Court was obtained. On Thursday, the 17th of the month of Safar, through the patronage of Ulugh Khan-i-Mu'azzam—the Almighty perpetuate his vicegerency!—the Nasariah College, together with the superintendence of its endowments, the Kazi-ship of Gwaliyur, and the lecture-ship of the Jami Masjid, all these, were confirmed to the author, according to former grant, and that Malik [Ulugh Khan-i-Mu'azzam] conferred upon the author a special honorary robe, and a caparisoned horse, such as no other among his brethren of the same profession had ever obtained. God reward him for it!
