v4.c13.11

Peace between Chitor and Gujarāt was, however, short, and Bahādur Shāh not only renewed his attack but also sent a strong force to resist the Mughul power. This army was commanded by Tātār Khān Lodī, whose father 'Alā-ud-dīn was one of the Afghān kings of Delhi, and had himself, after two unsuccessful attempts on the throne, been banished by Bābur to Badakhshān, and escaping thence was one of the refugees in Gujarāt. While 'Alā-ud-dīn took one force towards Kālinjar and another threatened the Punjab, Tātār Khān moved directly on Āgra. He was successful in taking Bayāna and his advance troops even raided the suburbs of Āgra.
