As a reward for his success on this occasion Tughluq was appointed, in 1305, governor of the Punjab, and at the same time Alp Khān was made governor of Gujarāt, and ‘Ain-ul-Mulk, governor of Multān, was sent on an expedition to Jālor and to Ujjain and Chanderī in Mālwa. As he advanced into Mālwa the raja Koka, or Haranand, came forth at the head of an army of 40,000 horse and 100,000 foot to oppose him. The armies met on December 9, and the Hindus, after a determined resistance, were routed. This victory, the news of which was received with great joy at Delhi, made the Muslims masters of Ujjain, Māndū, Dhār, and Chanderī, and so impressed Kaner Deo, the Chauhān raja of Jālor, that he accompanied ‘Ain-ul-Mulk on his return to Delhi and swore allegiance to ‘Alā-ud-dīn.
