The Riyazu-s-salatin (Abdus Salam) 40 - **Language:** English ### [40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.40) After the death of Arsalan Khan, his son, Md. Tatar Khan, who was illustrious for his bravery, liberality, heroism and honesty, becoming independent in his rule of Lakhnauti, did not much bend his head in submission to Emperor Nasiru-d-din. And after a while, he had the Khutbah in the kingdom of Lakhnauti recited in his own name, and for some time he passed in this wise. And when in the year 664 A.H. the throne of Dehli received eclat from the accession of Sultan Ghiasu-d-din Balban, and the fame of high aspiration and steadiness and high ambition of that Emperor spread to all sides, Md. Tatar Khan, using foresight, sent sixty-three head of elephants, together with other presents, to Dehli. As this was the first year of his accession, Sultan Ghiasu-d-din Balban considering this an auspicious augury, illuminated the City with lamps, and the nobles, feudatories and the principal officers presenting nazar became recipients of gifts. And the envoys of Muhammad Tatar Khan, after being loaded with presents, got permission to return. Tatar Khan pleased with the Imperial gifts, submitted and enrolled himself in the ranks of the Emperor's Omara. Sultan Ghiasu-d-din Balban appointed a Turkish slave named Tughral to the Viceroyalty of Lakhnauti. - [Previous: 39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.39) - [Next: 41.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.41.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.40) · Pramāṇa
