From Mewāt Buhlūl crossed the Jumna and marched to Baran, where Daryā Khān Lodī waited on him and compounded for his late adhesion to Mahmūd of Jaunpur by the surrender of seven *parganas* of his great fief to the crown. It was Buhlūl's policy to conciliate the great fief-holders of the Doāb, whose disobedience to Delhi and subservience to Jaunpur had been forced upon them by circumstances, and all were treated with leniency. ‘Īsā Khān, Mubārak Khān, and Raja Partāb submitted to him and were permitted to retain the fiefs of Koīl, Suket and Bhongāon, and even Qutb Khān¹, son of Hasan Khān, who defended the fortress of Rāprī against the royal troops, was permitted to retain his fief after his submission.
