3.1.6

The Sultan was delighted at this news, and caused his army to halt, in order that he might make due preparations for their reception. On the day fixed for 'Azam Humayun's coming, Ibrahim sent a large concourse of his principal chieftains to meet him; and when he made his obeisance, his head was exalted by the many marks which he received of the royal favour. The Sultan also presented khil'ats of cloth of gold, girdles, jewelled daggers, and some of his most valuable elephants to 'Azam Humayun, whom he rendered grateful by these attentions. Meanwhile he appointed some of the principal nobles to conduct the war against Jalalu-d din, and furnished them with a large army, war elephants, and all other needful equipments. Jalalu-d din had marched towards Agra with a large army, consisting of 30,000 horsemen, besides many elephants; leaving some of his partisans in Kalpi, to which place Sultan Ibrahim laid siege, and took it after a short resistance, and gave it over to plunder. After this, when he heard that his brother had gone towards Agra with a strong force, he sent Malik Adam Ghakkar to protect that place, which he accordingly reached with all expedition. Jalalu-d din wished to treat Agra as the Sultan had done Kalpi; but Malik Adam contrived to deceive and amuse him until he had sent for further assistance, and given Sultan Ibrahim notice of what was passing.
