The Afghan History of Khān Jahān 1.1.5

1.1.5

About this time Sultan Muhammad died, and the nobles and chief men of the State placed his son, Sultan 'Alau-d din, on the throne. The whole of Hind was divided into provinces governed by petty rulers (muluk-i tawd'if); but the Lodis predominated. Ahmad Khan Mewatti possessed the country from Mahrauli to Ladhu Sarai, near the city of Dehli. The Lodis held the country of Sirhind, Lahore, Samana, Sannam, and Hisar, as far as Panipat. Darya Khan Lodi governed the territory of Sambhal, up to the ferry of Khwaja Khizr, which adjoins Dehli. 'Isa Khan Turk-bacha held Kol and Jalali. Kutb Khan, the son of Hasan Khan the Afghan, was governor of Rapri. And Rai Partab held the towns of Bhuiganw, Pattiali, and Kampil. Bayana was in the hands of Daud Khan Auhadi; and Sultan 'Alau-d din ruled only in the city of Dehli, and a few of the neighbouring villages. There were also kings in Gujarat, the Dekhin, Malwa, Jaunpur, [Mandu], and Bengal. Sultan Bahlol, collecting an army for the second time, marched from Sirhind to Dehli; but as he could not succeed in capturing the fort of Dehli, he again returned to Sirhind.
