Since tliat again the Rawi once more altered its course ; and there 
can be no doubt whatever, that the old channel parallel to the present 
Muzaffar, and a mere remnant of his forcea, he succeeded in reaching Shor. The 
history (Tarikh-i- A Ifi) adds, that, “ such a disaster had never before befallen any 
army under anv reign.” 
These movements tend to prove what I have noticed before (see page 279) 
that, at the period of Amir Timur’s invasion, and at the period here referred 
to, the junction of the Wihat or Jihlam and the Chin-ab took place near to Shor 
or Shor Kot. See also page 331. 
Mir Muzaffar was left to hold Shor, while Mir ’All Beg returned to Kabul, 
and the ’Irnad-ul-Mnlk, who had followed in pursuit, invested Mir Muzaffar therein 
on the 4th of Zi-Ka’dah (the eleventh month), 834 IT. (August, 1431 A.D.l ; but he 
was jnst after removed from the government of the Multan province, and Kh air-nd- 
Din Khan, Khafi, succeeded him there. Great disorders arose in this part in con¬ 
sequence, and Jasrath, the Khokhar, again broke out. The result was, that Mir 
’All Beg, in the following year, 835 H (1431-32 A.D.), again appeared upon the 
scene, and advanced by way of Shor, then in his nephew’s hands, and invaded the 
provinces of Multan and Labor. All the country west of the Jihlam, and great 
part of that west of the Chin-ab, at this period, was outside the Dihli territory, 
and was more or less subject to the Mughals, as all west of the Biah was when 
the “ Tabakat-i-Nasiri ” was written, and as shown by the number of Turkish names 
still existing in those parts. Mir ’AH Beg carried his raids as far east as Sahrind 
[which is not Tabarhindah. “ Sirliind,” also, is not the correct name of the former 
place]. Facing about, he again retired westwards, making the people of Khat-pur 
captive, and those of the villages along the banks of the Jihlam ; and on the 17th 
of Rabi’-ul-Awwal (the third month), 835 H. (Dec. 1431 A.D.), again reached 
Tnlanbah. There, bv oaths and promises, he gained over the people, and then 
broke his agreement, and destroyed the fortress there, which was a very strong 
place (See note 246, page 279, and following note 247), and massacred many of 
its people. 
Folad, the Turk, previously referred to, w r ho when Mir ’AH Beg retired defeated 
to Kabul had returned to Tabarhindah, now issued therefrom, invaded the territory 
of Ra’e Firuz, the Ma’hin, one of the great Zamin-dars of those parts, and slew 
him. 
At this period Boh, also called Bold, was a ferry over the Biah, the Sutlaj not 
having yet united with it, even temporarily. 
Sultan Mubarak Shah, consequently, had now to deal with Jasrath, the Khokhar, 
Mir ’AH Beg, and Folad, the Turk. In Jamadi-ul-Awwal (the fifth month) of 
835 H. (Feby., 1432 A.D.), he moved towards the Panj-ab to suppress these out¬ 
breaks. On his reaching Samanah, Mir ’AH' Beg beat a retreat, and retired to the 
Koli-i-Jud —the Salt Range—but the rebellion of Jasrath became still more for¬ 
midable than before. This induced Mir ’Ali Beg to return in 836 H. (1432-33 A.D.), 
which he did by way of Shor once more. On this occasion he plundered and 
devastated the whole country along the line of the Biah (accounting for the 
numerous ruined places thereabout), sacked Lahor, and left 12,000 cavalry there 
to keep possession. He then plundered Sae-Wal, and took Debal-pur. Again 
Sultan Mubarak Shah advanced by forced marches and entered the Panj-ab to 
encounter him, and reached Debal-pur. From thence he moved to the Rawi, upon
