In this position of affairs Ghāzī Khān, son of Daulat Khān Lodī, the powerful governor of Lahore, visited Ibrāhīm at Delhi, and was so impressed by the discontent which had alienated from him the leading nobles of the kingdom that he returned to the Punjab a bitter enemy of Ibrāhīm's rule, and warned his father that should the king be successful in his campaign against the rebels in Hindūstān and Bihār he would not leave him long in possession of Lahore. From this time date Daulat Khān's virtual assumption of independence and his intrigues with Bābur, which will be described in Chapter I of Volume IV, and which led to Ibrāhīm's overthrow and to the establishment of a new and foreign dynasty on the throne of Delhi.
