203.4

After the seat of dominion became beautified and ornamented by the grace and splendour of his person, in the month of Rajab, in the year 644 H., he raised his imperial standards and brought out his forces for the purpose of marching to the banks of the river Sind, and Banian and the destruction of the infidels of Chin [the Mughals], and moved by successive marches. On Sunday, the 1st of the month of Zi-Ka’dah, 644 H., he crossed the river of Lohor [Rawi], and issued commands to the forces of Islam to ravage the Jud Hills and around Nandanah. Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam — may his good fortune continue! — who held the office of Amir-i Hajib, was nominated to the head of that army, and the Sultan with the camp, the followers, heavy material, and the elephants, encamped on the bank of the Sudharah.
