The History of Mubārak Shāh 7.8

7.8

He remained for some days encamped on the Ganges, and then he left Malik Mubaraz, Zirak Khan, and Kamal Khan with a detachment in the fort of Kampila, to put down any outbreak of the Rahtors. The son of Rai Sarwar, who had joined His Majesty, and had followed in his retinue, now took alarm and went off. Maliku-sh Shark Khairu-d din Khan was sent in pursuit of him with a strong force, but could not come up with him. He, however, plundered his country, and descended upon Etawa. The Sultan also marched and joined Khairu-d din in Etawa, when the infidel ruler of that country shut himself up in his fort. But he was unable to hold out, and so this son of Rai Sarwar made his submission, and paid the revenue and tribute which was owing. His Majesty then returned victorious to Dehli, where he arrived in Jumada-l akhir, 826 H. Malik Mahmud Hasan came in with a large body of followers from his fief of Jalandhar to wait upon the Sultan, and was received with great distinction. The office of 'ariz-i mamalik was taken from Malik Khairu-d din Khani and given to Mahmud Hasan. This worthy and righteous man was a faithful servant of the Sultan; he applied himself diligently to business, and his dignity daily increased. In Jumada-l awwal of this same year, there was fighting between Jasrath Shaikha and Rai Bhim. The rai was killed, and the greater portion of his horses and arms fell into the hands of Jasrath.
