Bihār Khān, on receipt of the news of the defeat and death of Ibrāhīm at Pānīpat, assumed the title of Sultān Muhammad, as independent sovereign of Bihār, and received Farīd when he waited upon him. Farīd soon gained the good opinion of his new master, as he had gained that of all others whom he had served, and rose to high rank in his service. One day, while hunting with him, he slew a tiger and received the title of Sher (tiger) Khān, by which he will henceforth be described. The Sultān, at the same time, appointed him tutor to his young son, Jalāl Khān.
