In 823 H. (1420 A.D.), the pretended Sárang Khán had a meeting with Túghán, chief of the Turk-bachas, when Túghán treacherously got the impostor into his power, and made him prisoner. He afterwards killed him. Khizr Khán remained in the capital, but he sent Malik Táju-l Mulk with an army against Etáwa. This army marched through the town of Baran, and came into the country of Kol. After suppressing the rebels in that quarter, it advanced into Etáwa, and there destroyed the village of Dehlí, the strongest place in the possession of the infidels. From thence, it marched against Etáwa, and besieged Ráí Sarwar,* who at length made peace, and paid his annual revenue and tribute. The army then proceeded to the country of Chandawár, which it plundered, and laid waste. It then marched into Katehr, where Ráí Singh, the possessor of that country, paid further revenue and tribute. After that, Táju-l Mulk returned to the capital. In the month of Rajab, intelli­gence arrived that Túghán Raís had a second time broken out into rebellion, and was besieging the fort of Sirhind, and that he had overrun the country as far as Mansúrpúr and Báíl.* Khizr Khán again sent Malik Khairu-d dín with an army to over­power him. He marched to Sámána, and there united his forces to those of Majlis-i 'álí Zírak Khán. They then went in search of the rebel, but he being informed of their approach, crossed the river Satladar (Sutlej), at the town of Ludhiyána, and con­fronted the royal army from the other side of the river. But the waters were low, and the royal forces crossed. Túghán then fled into the country of Jasrath Khokhar. His fief (iktá') was given to Zírak Khán, and Malik Khairu-d dín returned to Dehlí.

In 824 H. (1421 A.D.), Khizr Khán marched to Mewát. Some of the Mewáttís joined him, and the others were besieged in the fortress of Kútila [belonging to] Bahádur Náhir. Khizr Khán sat down against the fort, and the Mewáttís sallied forth to fight; but they were quickly defeated, the fort was taken, and they fled to the mountains. After destroying the fort of Kútila, Khizr Khán marched towards Gwálior. On the 7th Muharram, 824 H. (13th January, 1421 A.D.), Malik Táju-l Mulk died, and the office of wazír was given to his eldest son, Maliku-sh Shark Malik Sikandar. When Khizr Khán arrived in Gwálior, his forces invested the fort, and overran the country. After realizing money and tribute, he proceeded to Etáwa. Ráí Sarwar of Etáwa was dead, and his son being unable to make resistance, paid his revenue and tribute money. Khizr Khán was now taken ill, and returned to Dehlí. On the 17th Jumáda-l awwal, 824 H. (15th May, 1421 A.D.), after reaching the city, he died, and God in his mercy took him.

Khizr Khán, three days before his death, nominated his excel­lent and worthy son as his heir-apparent. On the 19th Jumáda-l awwal, 824, with the approval of the amírs and maliks,* Mubárak Sháh took his seat upon the throne. Khizr Khán being dead, the people in general renewed their vows of allegiance to his throne. The amírs and maliks, the imáms, saiyids, and kázís, and every one else who held appointments and emoluments in the late reign, were confirmed in their iktá's, parganas, villages (dih), parcels of ground (katí'), and allotments (mahdúd), by the new sovereign. He even increased them of his own accord. The fiefs of the shikk of Hisár Fírozah and of Hánsí were taken from Malik Rajab Nádir and given to Maliku-sh Shark Malik Badah, the Sultán's nephew. Malik Rajab received the fief of the shikk of Díbálpúr. News now arrived of the rebellion of Jasrath Shaikhá Khokhar and Túghán Raís.

The cause of this outbreak was, that in 823 H. (1420 A.D.), Sultán 'Alí, King of Kashmír, led his army into the country of Thatta, but as he returned, he was encountered by Jasrath Khokhar. The Sháh's army was scattered, part being still in Thatta, and part having come out. Incapable of sustaining the attack, it broke and fled. Sháh 'Alí himself fell a prisoner into the hands of Jasrath, and all his baggage and stores were plun­dered. Jasrath Khokhar was an imprudent rustic. Intoxicated with victory, and elated with the strength of his forces, he began to have visions about Dehlí. When he heard of the death of Khizr Khán, he passed the rivers Biyáh and Satladar (Sutlej), with a body of horse and foot, and attacked Ráí Kamálu-d dín Main, at Talwandí. Ráí Fíroz fled before him towards the desert. Jasrath next plundered the country, from the town of Ludhiyána to the neighbourhood of Arúbar (Rúpar), on the Sutlej. Some days after, he re-crossed the river, and proceeded to Jálandhar. Zírak Khán withdrew into the fort, and Jasrath Khokhar pitched his camp three kos from the town, on the bank of the Bení. Negociations went on between them, and terms of capitulation were agreed upon by both parties. The fort was to be evacuated and given into the charge of Túghán. Majlis-i 'álí Zírak Khán was to take a son of Túghán to wait upon the Sultán, and Jasrath was to send tribute, and return home. On the 2nd Jumáda-l ákhir, Zírak Khán came out of the fort of Jálandhar, and was conducted to Jasrath Khokhar, who was drawn up ready to receive him with his whole force. When Jasrath saw Zírak Khán in his power, he forgot his promise, and carefully guarding him, carried him off a prisoner over the Sutlej, to the town of Ludhiyána. From thence he marched on the 20th Jumáda-l ákhir, to Sirhind, where he arrived in the middle of the rainy season. Malik Sultán Sháh Lodí took refuge in the fort, and although Jasrath made great exertions, God guarded the fortress, and Jasrath failed to take it. When Malik Sultán Sháh's appeals for assistance reached the ears of the Sultán, he, notwithstanding the rains, marched out of the city in the month of Rajab, and proceeded towards Sirhind. He reached the town of Kohila, in the neighbourhood of Sámána, and Jasrath hearing of his approach, raised the siege of Sirhind, on the 27th Rajab, and retreated to Ludhiyána. He released Majlis-i 'álí Zírak Khán,* who then returned to Sámána, and joined his sovereign. The royal army then ad­vanced to Ludhiyána, and Jasrath Khokhar crossed to the other side of the river, where he encamped in full view of the Sultan's forces. He had got possession of all the boats, so the royal army was unable to pass. For nearly forty days they thus remained posted in sight of each other, until Canopus rose and the waters fell. The Sultán then retired to Kabúlpúr, and Jasrath Khokhar, keeping to the bank of the river, made a similar movement. On the 11th Shawwál, the king sent Sikan-dar Tuhfa, Majlis-i 'álí Zírak Khán, Maliku-sh Shark Mahmúd Hasan, Malik Kálú, and several other amírs, with a strong force and six elephants, to cross the river higher up at Rúpar. Early in the morning they crossed the river by a ford. On the same day, the king himself marched to the place where they had crossed. Jasrath Khokhar also, still holding to the bank of the river, advanced by a parallel march; but when he heard that some forces had crossed the river, he was alarmed, and took up a position four kos distant from the ford. The Sultán then passed with his whole army, and hastened to meet him. As soon as the royal forces came in sight, the rebels fled without fighting, leaving all their baggage behind. The royal forces pursued, and many horse and foot men were killed. Jasrath fled hastily with some light-horse, to the town of Jálandhar, and on the second day he crossed the Biyáh. When the royal army reached the Biyáh, he made off to the Ráví. The Sultán crossed the Biyáh at the foot of the hills, and reached the Ráví, near the town of Bhowa. He continued his pursuit across the river, and Jasrath then went over the Jánháva,* and proceeded to Tekhar,* in the hills. Ráí Bhím, the chief of Jammú, was honoured in an interview with the Sultán, and he then undertook to act as guide. He crossed the Jánháva, and conducted the royal army to Tekhar, which was his [Jasrath Khokhar's]* strongest place. They destroyed the place, and made many of those who had there sought refuge prisoners. The royal army then retired victorious towards Láhor.
