Another was Malik Husainu-d-Din abovementioned who became possessed of the whole country of Tirhut and Bengala and Jajnagar and Kamrud and gained the title of Sultan Ghiyasu-d-Din, till in the months of the year 622 H., he sent to the Sultan Shamsu-d-Din Iyaltimish thirty-eight head of elephants and seventy thousand tangahs in cash as a present and acknowledged the Sultan's authority, as will be mentioned, if God (he be exalted) so will it. And in the year 624 H. Malik Nasiru-d-Din Muhammad ibn Sultan Shamsu-d-Din went from Oudh to Lakhnauti at the instigation of some of the Amirs, and Ghiyasu-d-Din who at that time had taken an army from Lakhnauti to Kamrud turned back, and fought a severe battle with Malik Nasiru-d-Din and was taken prisoner together with the majority of his generals and was put to death. The duration of his reign was twelve years. The mention of these few kings of the regions of Hindustan incidentally with the affairs of the Sultans of Dehli was both opportune and necessary, and the affairs of the remaining Mu'izziyah kings who attained to the Saltanat of Multan and other kingdoms are mentioned in other places.
