In the year 817 H. (1414 A.D.), Maliku-sh Shark Taju-l Mulk was sent out with the army of Hindustan, while Khizr Khan himself remained in the capital. Taju-l Mulk crossed the Jumna, and went to the town of Ahar. Then he crossed the Ganges into the country of Katehr, and chastised and plundered the infidels of that country. Rai Har Singh fled into the mountains of Anwala. When the army of Islam closed in upon him, he was helpless, and paid taxes, money, and tribute (mahsul o mal o khidmati). Muhabat Khan, amir of Badaun, came to wait upon Taju-l Mulk. After this interview, Taju-l Mulk pursuing the course of the Rahab, he arrived at the ford of Sarg-dwari, and there crossed the Ganges. He chastised the infidels of Khor and Kambil (Kampila), and passing through the town of Sakina, he proceeded to Badham. Hasan Khan, amir of Rapri, and Malik Hamza his brother, came to wait upon him. The infidels of Gwalior, Seori, and Chandawar, brought their money and taxes (mal o mahsul), and bowed their necks to the yoke of obedience. He wrested Jalesar from the possession of the infidels of Chandawar, and gave it to the Musulmans, who had formerly held it. He left his own officers there. Then passing along the Black river, he chastised the infidels of Etawa, and returned to the capital.
