244.4.8

During the period that Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam had gone to Nag-awr, he led the troops of Islam towards the territory of Rantabhur, Bhundi and Chitrur. The Rae of Rantabhur, Nahar Diw who is the greatest of the Raes, and the most noble and illustrious of the Maliks of Hind, assembled an army in order that perchance he might be able to inflict a disaster upon Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam. Since the Most High and Holy God had willed that the renown of His Highness, Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, for victory, triumph, and success, should endure upon the records of time, the whole of that army of Rae Nahar Diw, notwithstanding it was very numerous, well provided with arms, and elephants, with choice horses, and famous Rawats he put to the rout, and the heroic men sent great numbers of the enemy to hell. Vast booty was captured, and horses and captives beyond computation were taken. Safe and rich, under the protection of the Creator, Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam returned again to the province of Nag-awr, and that place, through his felicitous presence, became a large city.
