Mangbarni advanced three stages towards Delhi and from there sent Ainul Mulk to ask for an asylum. The request met with overt refusal on the plea of the country’s uncongenial climate¹. Delhi even appeared a potential enemy. Mangbarni thereupon turned to his former refuge,—the Mongols having in the meantime retired—and sent a force to plunder the Khokar territory. The expedition proved an eminent success; not only was the Khokar chief defeated but was obliged to give his daughter in marriage and even to lend armed assistance².
