After withdrawing from thence [the hill tract of Silmur], on Sunday, the 6th of Rabi'-ul-Awwal, 655 H., Malik Saif-ud-Din, Ibak Khan, the Khita-i, sustained a fall from his horse and died from the effects of the injuries he sustained, and the Sultan's forces turned their faces towards the capital, and, on Sunday, the 26th of the month of Rabi'-ul-Akhir, he reached the illustrious seat of government, Dihli. On the return of the victorious forces, Malik ’Izz-ud-Din, Balban-i-Kashlu Khan, who, with the troops of Uchchah and Multan, was [then] in the neighbourhood of the banks of the river Biah, advanced still farther [north-eastwards], and Malik Kutlugh Khan, and those Amirs who were in combination with him, joined Malik Balban-i-Kashlu Khan, and advanced to the limits of Mansur-pur and Samanah. When information of the movement of this faction came to the sublime hearing, Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam with the troops was appointed [to march against them], and, on Thursday, the 15th of Jamadi-ul-Awwal, 655 H., he moved from the capital.
