v3.c21.6

In 1415 Malik Sadhū Nādira had been sent to Sirhind as the deputy of Khizr Khān's son Mubārak, on whom that district had been bestowed, and in the following year the Turkish landholders, kinsmen and dependants of Bairam Khān, the former governor, rose under the leadership of Malik Tughān, put him to death, and occupied the fortress. Zīrak Khān was sent against them and pursued them across the Sutlej and as far as the lower slopes of the Himālaya, but did not venture to continue the pursuit into the mountains, and returned to Delhi.
