The Afghan History of Khān Jahān 1.3.7

1.3.7

After the lapse of some time, Sultan Husain broke his oath, and again advanced against Sultan Bahlol. Sultan Bahlol left Dehli, and both sides skirmished during several days in the vicinity of the Sarat Lashkar; they, however, ended by making peace. About this time Sultan Husain's mother, Bibi Raji, departed this life in Etawah. Kalyan Mal, the son of Rai Karan Sing, Raja of Gwalior, and Kutb Khan Lodi, went from Chandawar to condole with Sultan Husain. Kutb Khan found that Sultan Husain was inimical to and disposed to injure Sultan Bahlol, so he flattered the Sultan by telling him that Bahlol was his subject, and unable to cope with him as a rival, and that he would take no rest until he had obtained possession of Dehli for him. After thus deceiving Sultan Husain, Kutb Khan took leave of him, and presented himself to Sultan Bahlol, and said, "We have escaped from the hands of Sultan Husain by wiles and contrivances, and have discovered that he entertains a rooted hatred to you. It is necessary for you, therefore, to look to yourself. Be on the alert."
