Tarikh-i Daʾudi 5.2.2

5.2.2

Sultán Husain fled towards Bihár, and Sultán Sikandar went to Jaunpur; and leaving there Barbak Shah, the Sultan took his departure to Oudh, where he spent nearly a month in hunting and amusing himself. About this time, fresh news arrived to the effect that Barbak Shah, on account of the superior force of the zamindars, was unable to hold Jaunpur. Sultan Sikandar commanded that Muhammad Farmuli, 'Azam Humayun, and the Khan-khanan Lohani should go to Jaunpur by the road of Oudh, whilst Mubarak Khan Lohani should proceed through Karra, for the purpose of making Barbak Shah prisoner and sending him to Court. He was accordingly seized and brought before the King, after which he was given in charge to Haibat Khan Sarwani and 'Umar Khan. The Sultan then proceeded to the fort of Chunar, with the intention of chastising the rebels of that district. When the Sultan's army arrived there, the Raja, after a slight resistance, thought fit to fly; during his flight, this fugitive Raja, by name Bhed, went to hell. His Majesty desired to advance farther, but opium and poppy-heads had become excessively dear, and he had lost many of the horses used during this expedition; in fact, each man possessing a stable of 100 horses had lost ninety. Sultan Sikandar halted some months at Jaunpur to recruit his army.
