Thus the Mahomedan Empire of Delhi came into the possession of another capable sovereign and he naturally turned his attention towards first conquering refractory Hindu nobles in his own territory. "In 623 H. (1226) he marched against Ranthambhor before which seventy sovereigns had failed. The Sultan's servants by the favour of the Creator took it. In 624 H. (1227) he marched against Mandawar within the Siwalik (territory) and its capture likewise, the Almighty facilitated and the Sultan returned with much booty" (Raverty's Tabakat p. 611). These two places were probably in the possession of Chauhan chiefs and they proving refractory were attacked and dispossessed.
