v3.c22.9
From Rāprī Buhlūl marched to Etāwah and received the submission of the raja, but this assertion of his authority provoked Mahmūd of Jaunpur, who claimed the allegiance of Etāwah and invaded the district for the purpose of contesting Buhlūl's claim. Neither king was in a position to proceed to extremities against the other, and after one day's desultory fighting they concluded a truce, in accordance with the terms of which the boundaries between the two states were to be those which had been recognised in the reign of Mubārak Shāh of Delhi, seven elephants taken from Fath Khān were to be restored to Jaunpur, and Buhlūl was to be permitted, after the rainy season, to wrest Shamsābād from Jaunān Khān, who held it nominally as a fief of Jaunpur.
