When the royal affairs had been well and firmly established, and the mandates of the King had spread over land and sea like running water, the Rájá of Chanderí rebelled. Arghún Khán, who was in that province, attacked him. The Rájá, however, plundered on the road the money which was being sent to the royal treasury. The Ruler of the Universe sent Arghún Khán's brother and Ahmad Sultán against him with a strong force. The Chanderí Rájá, being puffed up with vanity on account of the defeat which Arghún Khán had sustained, came out of Chanderí with an army of Hindús, and a battle took place near a village called Pádahar, in which he likewise defeated Arghún Khán's brother, together with his troops, and returned victorious to Chanderí. After this misfortune, Amír Khalífá received orders to prepare all the royal equipage. When it was ready, His Majesty left Ágra in state, and marched steadily in that direction, having previously despatched Amír Hindú Beg with 6000 gallant horsemen. 'Aliwardí Khán Shámlú, who was then in Málwá, received instructions to join Amír Hindú Beg, for the purpose of destroying that infidel. The Rájá of Chanderí, being very proud of his success, collected his adherents from all quarters, and appointed his nephew to oppose those two valiant and warlike chieftains. A battle was fought between them on the banks of the river Jumna. In the first attack, the infidels behaved with such extreme valour, that many of the men of the army of the King of the World became martyrs. When the two amírs saw that their soldiers were terrified at the Hindús, they retreated, and took refuge in a garden, and the nephew of Shahrak retired to a garden two kos distant. When the King was told of the defeat of these two amírs, he marched towards the enemy. On the amírs being informed of the King's arrival, they divided their forces in two on a very dark night, darker than the heart of an oppressor, fell on the infidels, and took their revenge. They killed most of the evil-doers, and made prisoners of the remainder; and so much plunder was taken from that heathen army, that the King's troops obtained sufficient to support them for years. His Majesty marched on towards Chanderí. But when the Rájá heard of the defeat of his brother, he was confounded, because that profligate wretch was a great warrior. Not knowing what else to do, he assembled a body of men, and came to fight the Sultán. That vanquished one did not know how difficult it is for a gnat to keep its feet when a cold boisterous wind is blowing, or for a sparrow to fly against a hawk. In the very first onset, that dark-faced man was over­thrown, and his army slaughtered. When the chiefs of the Rájá had been trampled on by elephants, His Majesty encamped near Chanderí with much pomp. The warriors of his vanguard, having already taken the fort, made captives of the connexions and family of the Rájá, and despatched them to the foot of the royal throne. His Majesty presented two of the daughters of the Rájá, whose beauty was unrivalled, who had never been exposed to the view of man, or to the hot winds, one to Mírzá Kámrán, the other to Prince Muhammad Humáyún, and gave the others to the sardárs of his army. After which he spent two months in that place, in country excursions and hunting, and then returned to Ágra.

In the third year His Majesty proceeded towards Lahore. At Sirhind he was met by the Rájá of Kahlúr, who presented him seven falcons and three mans of gold, and was confirmed in the zamíndárí of that place. When the King's camp reached Lahore, Mírzá Kámrán was honoured by admission to the pre­sence, and he brought the zamíndárs of the country to kiss the feet of the Conqueror of the World. The King's encampment was located in the environs of Lahore, and the royal tents were pitched in the garden of Mírzá Kámrán, who gave a magnificent banquet, which lasted three days. At its conclusion the King left the garden, and took up his abode in the fort. The whole road thither, from the garden to the gate of the city, was lined by the servants of Sháhzáda Kámrán, dressed in silk and brocade, decked like bridegrooms; and the troops, with their gay red and yellow flags, resembling the early spring. Elephants, adorned with gilded trappings, covered with jewels, were led in front of the royal cortège. When they entered the city-gate, money was thrown to the poor and destitute, and a grand enter­tainment was given in the palace of Sikandar Lodí.

The King was pleased with the sights and hunting which the Panjáb afforded, and he therefore remained there for the space of a year, during which Mírzá Hindál came from Kábul. He was admitted to the presence, and treated with marked distinction. When the cold season was over, Mírzá Hindál returned to Kábul, and at the time of his departure he received, as a present from His Majesty, two elephants, four horses, girdles, and jewelled daggers.

On the fourth day of the month of Rajab, the exalted monarch set forth on his return to Ágra. When he reached Sirhind, one of the kázís of Sámána complained to him that Mohan Mun­dáhir had attacked his estate (imlák) and burned it, plundered all his property, and slain his son. His Majesty, the Con­queror of the World, appointed 'Alí Kulí Hamadání, with three thousand horse, to avenge the injury which the Mundáhir had done to the petitioner. 'Alí Kulí proceeded against the village of the Mundáhirs. By chance a marriage was being celebrated amongst the Mundáhirs, when he approached them with the in­tention of attacking them. It being winter-time when the King's troops arrived there, in the morning, they were unable to pull their bows, on account of the severe cold. The Mundáhirs, who had just risen from warming themselves before fires in their houses, discharged such flights of arrows that the soldiers were unable to withstand them. Many fell, and 'Alí Kulí was unable to effect anything on account of the vigilance of the Kanwárs. The army retreated into the jangal, where they collected a quantity of wood, set fire to it, and relieved themselves from the rigour of the weather; after which, they again assaulted the village, but were again repulsed.

When information of this was conveyed to the King, he sent Tarsam Bahádur and Naurang Beg, with 6000 cavalry and many elephants. They reached that place one night, when the Mundáhirs were celebrating another marriage, and enjoying themselves. Towards morning the army was divided into three portions: one was sent to the west, and ordered to show itself. When the Mundáhirs, proud of the defeat which 'Alí Kulí had sustained, came forward to the attack, according to instructions received, the Royalist troops turned their backs and fled, followed by the Kanwárs, until they arrived at the distance of one kos from the village. Tarsam Bahádur took advantage of this opportunity to attack and set fire to the village, and put all the inhabitants to death. When the Mundáhirs perceived the flames, they ran towards their homes, but were intercepted on their road and attacked by the Royalists, sword in hand. Nearly a thousand of them were killed, and a thousand men, women, and children taken prisoners. The slaughter was great, and there was a heap of severed heads; and Mohan was taken alive. An account of the conquest of the village was sent to the Sháh. The village had been fully inhabited for no less than 160 years in the pargana of Kaithal; but was then made, and still continues to be, a desert, and has never been inhabited again, although 160 years* have elapsed since its destruction. When the prisoners were brought to Dehlí, all the women were given to the Mughals. The offending Mundáhir was buried in the earth up to his waist, and then pierced to death with arrows.*
