3.2

The battle began, and by the decree of God, Sultán Muhammad was defeated. He fled towards his own territories. With a party of about two thousand horse, he crossed the Jumna, and penetrated into the Doáb. From thence he sent his second son, Prince Humáyún Khan, to Samana, to assemble his forces; and he sent with him Malik Ziau-d din Aburja, Rai Kamalu-d din Main, and Rai Khul Chain Bhatti, whose fiefs were in that quarter. The Sultan himself took up his position at the village of Jalesar, on the banks of the Ganges. The amirs of Hindustan, such as Malik Sarwar, governor of the city (shahna-i shahr), Maliku-sh Shark Nasiru-l Mulk the holder of Multan, Khawassu-l Mulk the holder of Bihar [and others]; and Rai Sarvar and other rais and ranas, making in all about fifty thousand horse, with an innumerable force of foot, joined the Sultan. Malik Sarwar received the title of Khwaja-i Jahan, and was made wazir. Malik Nasiru-l Mulk became Khizr Khan, Khawassu-l Mulk was made Khawass Khan, and Saifu-d din became Saif Khan.
