From Ahroni, Tīmūr arrived at Tohana.⁶² The people of the place were Muslim Jāts, but casting "aside all restraints of religion"⁶³ Tīmūr decided to attack them. In fact from Bhatnīr to Delhi the Jāts were his main target of attack. They were killed in thousands; their places were occupied and governors appointed.⁶⁴ Resuming his march Tīmūr shortly after arrived on the banks of the Khagar,⁶⁵ where Amīr Sulaiman, who had marched via Mung,⁶⁶ joined him. A week later Tīmūr was joined by the main army coming up from Deopalpur under Amīr Shāh Malik. Since now all his force amounting to 92,000 strong was with him, Tīmūr thought it fit to reorganise it in the final stage of the march to Delhi.
