244.4.3

In the reign of the august Sultan, Shams-ud-Dunya wa ud-Din—on whom be peace!—[namely] in the year 632 H., the troops of Islam from Bhianah, Sultan-kot, Kinnauj, Mahir, Mahawan, and Gwaliyur, were despatched for the purpose of ravaging the territory of Kalinjar and Jamu the leader of which forces was Malik Nusrat-ud-Din, Ta-yas'i, the Mu’izzi, who for manhood, competency, judgment, vigour, military talents, and expertness, has been distinguished above all his compeers, the Maliks of that time. For a period of fifty days, they proceeded on that expedition, from Gwaliyur, and vast booty was acquired, to such degree that, for this short period, the Sultan’s share of a fifth amounted to nearly twenty-two laks. In short, at the time of returning from Kalinjar, the passage of the army of Islam lay [through the territory of] this Ranah of Ajari, and that Ranah had seized the route of the Musalman forces in the narrow ravines leading from the [banks of the] river Garanah [or Karanah].
