20.2.5

37. In the year 611 H. (1214 A. D.) a Moghul army arrived and laid siege to Multan for forty days and the Sultan Nasiru-d-Din, having opened the doors of the treasury, evinced great bravery and warded off their attacks, and at last after a reign of twenty-two years fell a prisoner into the hands of Sultan Shamsu-d-Din and trod the way to the next world. Another is Malik Bahau-d-Din Tughral, when Muizzu-d-Din Muhammad Sam reduced the fortress of Bahankar he entrusted the command of it to Malik Bahau-d-Din Tughral, and he having built a fortress in the country of Bhasiyana elected to reside there and used continually to Jiamsa the environs of Gwaliar, and Sultan Muizzu-d-Din at the time of his return from Gwaliar had promised to give that fortress to Malik Baha-u-d-Din who accordingly strongly fortified a position at a distance of two krohs from Gwaliar and harassed the garrison of the fort, so that after a year the garrison sending messengers and presents invited Sultan Qutbu-d-Din and surrendered the fort to him. On this account enmity arose between Malik Qutbu-d-Din and Baha-u-Din. Malik Baha-u-Din died a short time afterwards. Another is Malik Muhammad Bakhtyar Ghuri. He was one of the great men of Ghur and Garmsir, a man adorned with all good qualities who came to Ghaznin in the reign of Sultan Muizzu-d-Din and from thence went to Hindustan.
