Mān Singh profited by the strife between the Muslims to extend his dominions, and when Sikandar Lodī, provoked by his protection of a fugitive rebel, invaded them in 1505 and the following years, he did not venture to attack Gwalior itself, but contented himself with reducing Mandrāel, Utgīr, and other fortresses of less importance, and was eventually recalled from this campaign by other affairs, but in 1518 his son, Ibrāhīm Lodī, incensed by the raja’s protection of the pretender, Jalāl Khān, besieged his capital, and Vikramāditya or Bikramājīt, the son and successor of Mān Singh, was compelled to surrender.
