In the year 641 H., the Rae of Jajnagar commenced molesting the Lakhanawati territory; and, in the month of Shawwal 641 H., Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan marched towards the Jaj-nagar country, and this servant of the state accompanied him on that holy expedition. On reaching Katasin, which was the boundary of Jaj-nagar [on the side of Lakhanawati], on Saturday, the 6th of the month of Zi-Ka'dah, 641 H., Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan made his troops mount, and an engagement commenced. The holy-warriors of Islam passed over two ditches, and the Hindu infidels took to flight. So far as they continued in the author's sight, except the fodder which was before their elephants, nothing fell into the hands of the foot-men of the army of Islam, and, moreover, Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan's commands were that no one should molest the elephants, and, for this reason, the fierce fire of battle subsided.
