The History of Mubārak Shāh 7.32

7.32

He himself then returned to the capital. In 836 H., in the month of Muharram (Sept., 1432), the king marched from Dehli to Samana, to punish the disaffected in that neighbourhood. He proceeded as far as Panipat. News was then brought that Makhduma-i Jahan, his mother, was very ill. He immediately returned to the capital, leaving his army and baggage in charge of the amirs and maliks. A few days after his return his mother died. After performing her obsequies he remained for a day in the capital, and then returned to his army. On his arrival he ordered Malik Sarwar to march with an army, appointed for the purpose, against the fort of Tabarhindh, where Pulad Turk-bacha had made himself stronger than he was before, having thrown into the fort all the arms and implements and grain which he had gathered from the country of Rai Firoz. The fort was invested and operations were begun. Malik Sarwaru-l Mulk, when the dispositions were made, left Majlis-i 'ali Zirak Khan, Islam Khan, and Malik Kahun Raj in command, and proceeded with a small escort to join the Sultan at Panipat. The Sultan having given up his design of proceeding on his intended expedition, took the fiefs of Lahor and Jalandhar from Nusrat Khan, and gave them to Malik Allah-dad. [When Malik Allah-dad arrived at Jalandhar, Jasrath Shaikha crossed the Biyah and attacked him.] Jasrath was victorious, and the Malik being obliged to flee went into the mountains of Kothi.
