The History of Mubārak Shāh 7.31

7.31

As soon as the rai heard of this, he marched with his horse and foot to oppose him, and a battle followed. The rai was slain, and the victorious Pulad cut off his head and carried it to Tabarhindh. He also secured many horses and a large supply of grain. When the Sultan received information of these events, he himself marched towards Lahor and Multan, and he sent Malik Sarwar on in advance with a strong force to repress the rebellion of Pulad. When the army came near to Samana the infamous Jasrath Khokhar abandoned the siege of the fort, and went into the hills of Telhar, carrying with him Malik Sikandar. Shaikh 'Ali also, fearing the royal army, retreated towards Bartot. The fief of Lahor was taken from Maliku-sh shark Shamsu-l Mulk, and given into the charge of Khan-i 'azam Nusrat Khan Garg-andaz. Malik Sarwar brought the family of Shamsu-l Mulk out of Lahor, and sent them to the capital. Nusrat Khan thus became possessed of the fort of Lahor and the fief of Jalandhar. In the month of Zi-l hijja Jasrath Khokhar came down with his followers from the hills, and attacked Nusrat Khan at Lahor, but, in the end, he was worsted and returned to the hills. The Sultan pitched his royal camp on the river Jumna, near to the khitta of Panipat, and there he remained for a time. From thence, in the month of Rajab, he sent Maliku-sh Shark 'Imadu-l Mulk with a strong force to Bayana and Gwalior, with orders to punish the rebels and infidels of those parts.
