c9.7
The next invasion was that of Ikhtiyār-uddin Yuzbak Tughril Khān, about 1257 A.D. For a time he was successful, and he celebrated his conquest by erecting a mosque, but when the rains set in and the country was flooded, his men were reduced to great straits, and large numbers died. The king of Kāmarupa returned from the hills, where he had taken refuge, and gave battle. The Sultan was killed and his army defeated, and only a few succeeded in making good their escape to Bengal.†
