11.14.5

Kishlū Khān's son was in Dihlī, so he wrote to Tughluq: "If my son were with me I would help you in what you intend." Tughluq wrote to his son Muḥammad Shāh informing him of what he had resolved and ordering him to flee to him, bringing with him the son of Kishlū Khān. His son planned a stratagem against Khusraw Khān, and it succeeded as he wished. He said to him: "The horses have grown fat and heavy and they need yarāq," that is, training down, and he gave him permission to train them. Every day he would ride out with his companions and exercise them for an hour, two hours or three, and he continued up to four hours, until one day he stayed away until noon, which is their mealtime. The sultan ordered men to ride in search of him, but no news of him was found; he had joined his father and taken Kishlū Khān's son with him. Thereupon Tughluq openly rebelled and gathered troops, and Kishlū Khān came out with him with his companions. The sultan sent his brother Khān Khānān to fight them, and they routed him utterly; his army deserted to them, Khān Khānān returned to his brother, his companions were killed, and his treasuries and wealth were taken.
