c2.s1.11

It was Bairam Deva Koela, Rāja of Koel (Aligarh), who had informed Malik Chhajjū that the army of the sultan was about to join that of the prince and the rebel had escaped unscathed for a second time. Arkalī Khān was very much enraged at the behaviour of the Rāja. He recrossed the Kālī Nahar and attacked Aligarh. Bairam Deva was killed in a fight and Arkalī began the pursuit of Chhajjū once again.²⁰ At last Malik Chhajjū was captured from a fortress in which he had taken refuge. Flushed with victory Arkalī Khān returned to his father.
