Tarikh-i Salatin-i Afaghina 2.1

2.1

Some time after, Sultan Bahlol marched out against the Rana, and pitched his camp at Ajmir, where he collected a powerful force. Chattar Sal, son of the Rana's sister, was at Udipur with 10,000 cavalry. Kutb Khan advanced towards that place, and fought an action with the rascally infidel. At first, the Sultan's army was repulsed by the impetuous onset of the infidels, and several Afghans obtained martyrdom in that contest ; but, in the end, Kutb Khán and Khán-khánán Farraulí, determining to sell their lives dearly, advanced to close combat with swords and daggers, and so completely routed their black-faced foes, that Chhattar Sál was slain in the field ; and so many infidels fell, that a pillar was raised of their heads, and streams of their blood began to flow. Five or six elephants, forty horses, and much plunder fell into the hands of the Sultán's soldiers, while those of the Ráná took to flight. Subsequently, the Ráná made peace, and in Uldpúr prayers were offered and the coin was struck in the name of the Sultán. After that, the Sultán carried his victorious army into Munkhár. He plundered and depopulated that entire country, and the army acquired great booty. Thence he returned to Sirhind, and after two or three months, advanced with his troops towards Lahore, where he passed some days in festivities.
