Tarikh-i Salatin-i Afaghina 7.1.1

7.1.1

Historians relate that in the year 932 (1526 A.D.), Sháh Bábar, the Conqueror of the World, remained encamped for a week on the battle-field on which he had gained his victory, and made himself master of all the property, elephants, equipages, warlike implements, etc., of Sultán Ibráhím. He considered that that spot had been a fortunate one to him. He summoned the elders of the city, and gained the goodwill of all by his liberality; and made Sultán Muhammad Aughúli, who had come to his assistance during that action with great diligence and bravery accompanied by 10,000 horse, governor of Pánípat, and granted him as a gift the revenues due upon one harvest. After which he directed his course towards Dehlí, the inhabitants of which city, from dread of the pride and power of the Mughals, had deserted it. He accordingly despatched worthy men of Hindústán for the purpose of calming the fears of the elders and gentry of the city and its environs, and induce them by promises of the royal favour and liberality to come to the Court of the Protector of the World.
