Taj al-maʾathir 15: Kutbu-d din returns to Kol, and entrusts its Government to Hisamu-d din 'Ulbak.

15

There was a certain tribe in the neighbourhood of Kol, which "after the manner of fox playing with lions" had occasioned much trouble by their deceits and stratagems, therefore "by the edge of the sword they were despatched to the fire of hell." "Three bastions were raised as high as heaven with their heads, and their carcases became the food of beasts of prey." "That tract was freed from idols and idol worship, and the foundations of infidelity were destroyed," and all those who were oppressed found protection under the shadow of royal clemency." "The keys of command and prohibition in the kasba of Kol were given to Maliku-l Umara Hisamu-d din 'Ulbak, one of the chief pillars of the State." Here follows a didactic passage on what he was expected to do as a good governor.
