c13.s4.18

From Gwalior, Sultan Bahlūl marched to Dholpur. He defeated its ruler as well as Iqbāl Khan, the governor of Bari,¹²⁹ both of whom paid handsome tribute.¹³⁰ He is also said to have marched to Ujjain and defeated its "Raja",¹³¹ but Malwa then was under Muslim rule and we do not know if there was a Hindu Raja ruling at Ujjain. Yādgār probably has introduced Ujjain only to add glamour to the Sultan's name and the evidence in this regard is as shaky as with regard to the war against the Rana of Mewar.
