v3.c26.33

In 1454 he led a punitive expedition against the rebellious Hāra Rājputs on his northern frontier, put many of them to the sword, and sent their children into slavery at Māndū. Marching on to Bayāna, he collected tribute from the governor, Dāūd Khān, who had succeeded his father, Muhammad Khān, confirmed him in the government, and composed a long-standing dispute between him and Yūsuf Khān of Hindaun. On his return to Māndū he appointed his younger son, Fidāī Khān, entitled Sultān ‘Alā-ud-dīn, to the command of the fortress of Ranthambhor and the government of Harāolī, the district of the Hāra Rājputs.
