(1352 A.D.), on the 3rd Jumada-l awwal, Prince Muhammad Khan was born in the capital (shahr). \* \* In this same year (the Sultan) founded the masjid-i jami' near the palace, and the college at the top of the hauz-i khass ; \* \* and Kiwamu-l Mulk Makbul, naib-wazir, became wazir of the State, and received the title of Khan-i Jahan. \* \* In the year 755 H. (1354 A.D.), the Sultan marched with an army against Lakhnauti, leaving Khan-i Jahan at the capital in charge of all affairs of State. \* \* When he reached Kurakhur, Adi Singh waited upon him, and offering a tribute of twenty lacs of tankas in cash and two elephants, was received into favour. On the 28th Rabi'u-l awwal, he arrived at the fort of Ikdála, and some hard fighting ensued. The Bengalis were defeated, and many were slain. Saha Deo, their leader, with several others, was killed. On the 29th of the month, the army marching from that place, encamped on the banks of the Ganges. Ilyás Hájí was shut up in the fort, and on the 5th Rabi'u-l ákhir, he marched out with his countless Bengali followers and forces. The Sultan marshalled his army, and as soon as Ilyás Hájí beheld it, he was dismayed and fled. The army (of the Sultan) made the attack; the canopy and forty elephants were captured, and innumerable horsemen and infantry became food for the sword. For two days after the Sultan remained encamped, and on the third he marched for Dehli. Some months afterwards he founded the great city Firozabad. - [Next: 1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.2) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.1) · Pramāṇa
