In 1395–96 Sārang Khān of Dīpālpūr quarrelled with Khizr Khān the Sayyid, governor of Multān, expelled him from that city, and annexed his fief. Emboldened by this success he marched, in June, 1397, to Sāmāna, and there besieged the governor, Ghālib Khān, who fled and joined Tātār Khān, Nusrat’s minister, at Pānīpat. Nusrat Shāh sent a small reinforcement to Tātār Khān, who on October 8 attacked and defeated Sārang Khān and reinstated Ghālib Khān at Sāmāna.
