At this time Malik Barbak Baras arrived, and Muqaddar running forward announced the joyful tidings of the victory. Malik Barbak applauding him sent a despatch to the Emperor, announcing the victory, together with the head of Tughral. On the following day, together with the booty and prisoners of Tughral's army, he proceeded himself to the Emperor, and narrated the story of the victory. And Malik Muhammad Tirandaz was promoted to the first rank, and his brother Malik Muqaddar received the title of Tughral-kush ("Tughral-slayer"), and was raised to the peerage. Sultan Ghiasu-d-din Balban after this marched back to Lakhnauti, and set himself to the work of chastisement. Along both sides of the road passing through the market-place of the City, putting up scaffolds, the Emperor hanged such adherents of Tughral as had been taken prisoners, and capturing their women and children, wherever found, he had them slaughtered at Lakhnauti, after putting them to indescribable tortures. Till that time, none of the Emperors of Dehli had slaughtered the children and women of miscreants. After this, the Emperor bestowed the kingdom of Lakhnauti on his own son, Bughra Khan, giving him at the same time the treasures, etc., and other valuables of Tughral that had been captured, except the elephants; and conferring on him the title of Sultan Nasiru-d-din, he placed on the son's head the royal umbrella, and allowed also the Khutbah to be recited and the coin to be minted in his name.
