c13.s2.49

The new Sharqī Sultan Husain's first act was to enter into an agreement with Sultan Bahlūl. The two monarchs agreed on a truce for a period of four years. Each party was to be content with his own dominions and was to refrain from acts of aggression. The two royal prisoners Qutb Khan Lodī and Jalāl were exchanged, but Shamsābād remained in the hands of the Sharqīs. Qutb Khan Lodī had been in captivity for seven months.⁵⁹ With his release and because of the turn of events in Jaunpur politics the war came to a close in an atmosphere of cordiality. Also through the good offices of Qutb Khan Afghan, Rai Pratap was reconciled to Sultan Bahlūl.
