Wrong place?

"Then, Mahmud turned his attention towards India. This result in Mahmud's fifth invasion. In the winter of 1007, Mahmud appeared before Multan and defeated Nawasa Shah, who fled towards the Salt Range in West Punjab." -- Warfare in Pre-British India: 1500BCE to 1740CE, Kaushik Roy, page 89.

This would indicate the battle occurred at Multan, not the Salt Range. --Kansas Bear (talk) 14:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

"In 1007, Mahmud led another expedition to Multan against his former minister and Hindu convert, Niwasa Khan, who had renounced Islam and attempted to establish control of the region in collusion with Abul Fateh Daud of Multan." --Mehta, Jaswant Lal (1980).
