In August Jasrat was again active. He issued from his stronghold, plundered some districts in the plains, and attacked Gurgandāz in Lahore, but, being worsted by him, retired again into the mountains. Mubārak, who had marched as far as Pānīpat on hearing of his renewed activity, returned to Delhi on learning of his retreat, and sent ‘Imād-ul-Mulk into the districts of Bayāna and Gwalior. In September he again left the capital to quell some disturbances in the Sāmāna district, but returned to Delhi on hearing of his mother’s illness and arrived in time to be present at her obsequies. Having rejoined his army he sent Sarvar-ul-Mulk with a large force against Fūlād, and Sarvar-ul-Mulk, after completing all dispositions for the siege of Sāmāna, left Zīrak Khān in charge of the operations and returned to the royal camp at Pānīpat. Mubārak now abandoned his intention of taking the field in person, and sent Malik Ilāhdād Lodī to supersede Gurgandāz in the fiefs of Lahore and Jullundur, but as he was approaching the latter town Jasrat fell upon him at Bajwārā, near Hoshiārpur, defeated him, and drove him into the lower slopes of the mountains.
