244.5.3

In short, the Maliks of Hindustan namely, from the territory of Karah and Manik-pur, and Awadh and the district of Tirhut, as far as Buda'un, and from the side of Tabarhindah as far as Sunam, Kuhram, and Samanah, and the whole of the Siwalikh [country], prayed Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam to return to the capital. Malik Taj-ud-Din, Arsalan Khan-i-Sanjar, brought forth a body of troops from Tabarhindah, and Malik Saif-ud-Din, Bat Khan-i-I-bak, the Khita-i, issued from Sunam and Mansur-pur, and Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam assembled forces from Nag-awr and the Siwalikh, and Malik Jalal-ud-Din, Mas'ud Shah, son of Sultan Shams-ud-Din [I-yal-timish], from the side of Lohor joined them, and they turned their faces towards the environs of the capital. 'Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan represented to the Sultan that the sublime standards should move out for the purpose of repelling his own servants, and they [the Sultan and his adviser] marched the forces from Dihli towards Sunam, for that purpose. Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam, with the other Maliks, was in the neighbourhood of Tabarhindah; and the author set out from the capital for the purpose of joining the royal camp, because it was impossible for him to remain in the city [of Dihli] without the presence of the sublime Court. On Monday, the 26th of the month of Ramazan, 652 H., the author reached the royal camp, and, on Lailat-ul-Kadr [the night of Power], in the public apartment of the august Sultan’s [pavilion], he offered up prayer.
