244.2.3

When intimation of this irruption reached the capital, Malik Ulugh Khan represented it for the sublime consideration, and caused an army to be organized for the purpose of repelling the Mughals. While every one of the [other] Amirs and Maliks was showing indecision about this undertaking, Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam showed determination in carrying it out; and, when the royal standards moved forward towards that [threatened] quarter, Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam — Be his power prolonged! — despatched guides in advance on the line of route, so that [the troops] used to get over the marches with rapidity. He was wont to represent to the troops that the [next] halting-ground would be about eight kuroh off, and [consequently] about twelve kuroh, and even more than that they used to march, until the forces reached the banks of the Biah, and passed over that river, and he conducted them to the banks of the river Rawah [Rawi] of Lohor.
