When Sher Shah Sur gained the kingdom of Hindustan, he bestowed the government of Mandu on him, and gave to Ibrahim Khan, who also attained to great consideration, the title of Sarmast Khan. It so happened that when Farid arrived at Agra, Daulat Khan, the son of Budhu (who had been brought up in 'Azim Humayun Sarwani's house), held the command of 12,000 horse, and was in great favour with Sultan Ibrahim. Farid Khan chose Daulat Khan for his patron, and did him such good service that Daulat Khan often said: "I am ashamed to look Farid Khan in the face; if he will only say what I can do for him, I will not fail to use my utmost endeavours to accomplish his desire, only let him say what he wants."
