Khusru Khan's invasion of Ma'bar and return to Delhi.—Khusru Khan's invasion of Ma'bar, as Barni describes it, was uneventful. He marched towards the country, the kings fled before him and about a hundred elephants left in two cities fell into the hands of Khusru Khan. The rains set in, and Khusru had to remain there during the rains. To the horror of Barni, Khusru Khan seized the person of Taki Khan, a Sunni and, appropriating his money, put him to death.¹ While here, he was plotting against the more influential nobles and maturing his own plans to carry through his final schemes of usurping the throne himself.
