(1437 A.D.), intelligence arrived that anarchy prevailed in Multan, in consequence of the insubordination of the tribe of Langahs. And intelligence was also brought that Sultan Ibrahim Sharki had seized upon several parganas. The rai of Gwalior, and other rais, ceased to pay their revenue. Still, the Sultan took no measures to secure his possessions, but gave himself up to indulgence and neglect. All men's heads were crazy, and every heart was anxious. Some amirs invited Sultan Mahmud Khilji, King of Malwa, and in the year 844 H. (1440 A.D.), he proceeded towards Dehli. Muhammad Shah equipped his army, and sent it forth with his son, under the command of Bahlol Khan Lodi. On the other side, Sultan Mahmud Khilji sent his two sons Ghiyasu-d din and Kadar Khan to meet them. The battle raged from morning till night, when both sides withdrew to their respective positions. Next day Muhammad Shah made proposals of peace. Just at this time Sultan Mahmud was informed that Sultan Ahmad Gujarati was marching against Mandu, so he immediately accepted terms of peace and returned home. This peace degraded Muhammad Shah still lower in the estimation of all men. As Sultan Mahmud of Malwa was retreating, Bahlol Lodi pursued him, and carried off part of his baggage and valuable effects. This success of Bahlol Khan's delighted Sultan Muhammad; he honoured Bahlol with great distinction and favour, and called him son. - [Previous: 8.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.8.8) - [Next: 8.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.8.10) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.8.9) · Pramāṇa
