Niza'm i Harawi'. 



Nizam, in his Talaqdt i Akbari, follows Barani. The first expe- 

 dition, according to MS. 87 of the Asiatic Society of Bengal — a very- 

 fair MS. — took place at Jdran Majhur (sic) in Sind (!). The names of 

 the Mughul commanders of the second, third, and sixth expeditions are 

 given as Caldi and Qutlugh, son of Ddud, and JTapik or Kabih. He 

 calls 'All Beg (fifth expedition) the grandson (nabisah) of Chengiz 

 Khan. For IPhelcar (sixth expedition), he has Kliahliarah, in all 

 probability the river G'haggarnear Patiala (Sarhind) ; and he says that 

 the river mentioned in the seventh expedition was the Ravi (Labor). 



Thus we see that Barani and Nizam have more than eight, Firishtah 

 has seven, and Badaoni ^ve invasions. Firishtah agrees more with Zia 

 i Barani than Badaoni. The Mughul leader Kapak, in expedition No. 5, 

 is evidently the same as Gung in No 6 of Barani, as &*? and vSA-^ 

 only differ in the diacritical points. As Badaoni's events differ 

 materially from those of the other two historians, I subjoin a 

 translation of Badaoni (I., pp. 184 to 186). 



' In 698, Chatalcli (sic), a leader of the Mughuls crossed the Indus, 

 and invaded Hindustan. Ulugh Khan and Tughluq Khan, governor 

 of Dipalpur (Panjab), who is the same as Grhazi Malik, were sent 

 against him. They met him in the confines of Jaran Manjhur, 

 defeated him, killed some, and captured others, and 'Alaucldin's army 

 returned victorious with much plunder. 



< The second time Qutlugh Khwajah, son of Daud, came from Ma- 

 warannahr with countless hordes to conquer Hindustan, and came as 

 far as the environs of Dihli to A'rah (?) ; but he did not ravage the 

 districts. In Dihli things got very dear, and the condition of the 

 inhabitants was miserable. Sultan 'Alauddin appointed Ulugh Khan 

 and Zafar Khan commanders, and sent them with a large army to 

 fight the Mughuls. A battle took place at Greli (Kill), in which 

 Zafar Khan was killed. In his death also 'Alauddin saw an advan- 

 tage. Qutlugh Khan fled to Khurasan, where he died.'
