But instigated by their victories, he, too, was anxious to give like proof of his valour. For this reason he warred against divers petty princes of Hindustan, until at length he came against the King of Dihll, of Pathan race, Sultan Amavixa. A sanguinary battle ensued, and after the war had taken various turns, he (Babar) succeeded in killing the said Sultan Ibrahim Shah. Thus the victorious Babar took the city of Dihll, and there set up the throne, which is still occupied by the kings, his descendants. This city was founded by a powerful Hindu king called Biguer Magid (Bikramajlt), by whom the name of Dihll was given to it. The meaning is 'steadfast.' It was here that he established his court; furthermore, he believed that no one could ever capture the city. But the Sultan Alaudin ('Ala-ud-dln), a Pathan king, came down and conquered the Hindu king, and began to reign at the selfsame capital in the year one thousand and ninety-five or thereabouts. The Pathans continued to govern Hindustan for four hundred and twenty-four years, a little less or more, until Sultan Babar of the Mogul race conquered Sultan Ibrahim Shah in the year one thousand five hundred and nineteen. - [Previous: 54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.54) - [Next: 56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.56) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.55) · Pramāṇa
