When the death of Sulaimán Kirání became known, Khán-khánán Mun'im Khán marched from the fort of Chunár against the province of Bihár. Sikandar Uzkek died about the same time. Khán-khánán then sent Tangri Kulí with a force against Hájípúr, and Tálibí with another detachment against Patna. Gújar, unable to resist, sent presents and propositions of submis­sion. He offered to enter the Imperial service, and to assist in the conquest of Bengal, upon condition of receiving Gorakpúr for the support of himself and family, and of the province of Bihár being allotted in jágír to the Imperial nobles; or that the sarkár of Hájípúr and Bihár should be assigned to him for that year, he being responsible to the Imperial treasury for the revenue, and that in the next year he should receive a jágír in Bengal. Mun'im Khán accepted this proposition, and was about to make Gorakpúr over to him, when Lodí, whose craft appeared in all the matters of that country, conspired with Háshim Khán, and upset the arrangement. Gújar, finding that he had nothing to expect from Mun'im Khán, was obliged to side with Lodí.

Mun'im Khán, having received tribute from Lodí, started on his return, when intelligence arrived that Yúsuf Muhammad had taken possession of Gorakpúr. Mun'im Khán had taken this Yúsuf Muhammad, son of Sulaimán Uzbek, to Court, and had brought his misconduct to the notice of the Emperor, who deemed it prudent to put him in confinement. But when His Majesty went on his campaign in Gujarát, Yúsuf escaped from his prison in Ágra, and wrested Gorakpúr from the hands of the men of Páyinda Muhammad Bangash. When Mun'im Khán was informed of this, he immediately ordered Khán Muhammad Basúdí and Páyinda Muhammad Bangash to repress the revolt. He himself also marched from the town of Muhammadábád along with Muhammad Kulí Khán Birlás, Majnún Khán Kák-shál, and some other nobles. But on the march Majnún Khán, with all the Káksháls, parted from him. The reason of this defection was, that false statements had been made to Majnún Khán, that Bábá Khán Jabbárí, Mirzá Muhammad Sháh, and the other Káksháls who had accompanied the Emperor on the campaign in Gujarát, had killed Sháhbáz Khán, and had gone over to join the Mirzás. In consequence of this, it was asserted that an order had arrived for the arrest of Majnún Khán. The Khán-khánán sent officers to re-assure Majnún Khán, and to bring him with them. But their efforts were in vain, until letters arrived from Bábá Khán detailing the favours received from His Majesty, and the services he had rendered in the campaign. Ashamed of his suspicions, Majnún Khán returned and rejoined the army of Khán-khánán; but before he arrived, Khán-khánán had accomplished the reduction of Gorakpúr.

Meanwhile Dáúd, puffed up with pride, had marched against Jaunpúr, having sent on Lodí in advance with a select force and the elephants. He obtained possession of Zamániya by the capitulation of Muhammad Kásim, the muhr-dár (seal-bearer). Khán-khánán collected the amírs under his command, and sent forward a strong force against Dáúd, he himself following more leisurely. ^{* *} Lodí was greatly elated with the capture of Zamániya, and he sent 5000 or 6000 men across the Ganges, under the command of Yúsuf Muhammad, who had escaped from Gorakpúr and joined the Afgháns. After he had crossed the Ganges, Mirzá Husain Khán and Rájá Gajpati attacked and defeated him, inflicting heavy loss. Muhammad Kulí Khán Birlás and other amírs joined the victors, with consider­able reinforcements, at Gházípúr. Khán-khánán also arrived with a strong force. Lodí threw up fortifications between the rivers Sáh (Sye) and Ganges, and there held his ground. Com­bats took place every day between the bold spirits of the two armies. But although the Imperial forces maintained a bold attitude, they were inferior in men, elephants, and guns. The Emperor was at the time engaged in the siege of Surat: so Mun'im Khán offered terms of peace; but Lodí haughtily re­jected them. The amírs in the royal army were in a depressed condition, and were neither inclined to fight nor retire. But the Imperial good fortune attended them, and Lodí accepted terms of peace and withdrew.

The reason of this was, that when Dáúd came to Mongír from Bengal, he made away with Yúsuf, the son of Táj, and nephew to himself, in the apprehension that Lodí might support him. Lodí had been an old servant of Táj, and he had given his own daughter in marriage to Yúsuf; but his intercessions for him were of no avail. When Lodí became acquainted with the fact, he deserted Dáúd, and joined Mun'im Khán, sending suitable tribute to the Emperor. Dáúd, on ascertaining this defection, fell back, and shut himself up in the fort of Garhí, where he scattered the treasure of his father among his soldiers. Jalál Khán, Saiyid Húrí, and Kálá Pahár, whose name was Rájú, now separated from Lodí, and divisions arose in Lodí's forces. Lodí was thereby compelled to abandon his design of attacking Dáúd, and to take refuge in the fort of Rohtás. He wrote from thence to assure Mun'im Khán of his fidelity to the Emperor, and calling for his support. The Khán sent him aid, and looked anxiously for the return of the Emperor.
