Sārang Khan, the governor of Deopalpur, had at last dislodged Shaikha Khokhar from Lahore and had re-occupied it. His ambition did not rest there. He attacked Khizr Khan at Multan and occupied it (1396).⁶⁸ Khizr Khan fled and sought refuge with Shams Khan Auhadi at Bayana.⁶⁹ Next year Sārang attacked Samana, but its governor Ghālib Khan with the help of Tātār Khan, Nusrat Shāh’s Vazīr, inflicted a crushing defeat on him on 8 October, 1397 (15 Muharram, 800 H).⁷⁰
