22.1.2

Sultan Qutbu-d-Din after his return from Ghaznin bought a slave named Ibak, a namesake of his own, and Iyaltimish, at Dehli for 100,000 tangahs; at first he called him Amir Tamghach, and appointed him to the Amirship of Tabarhindah, and at the time when Sultan Qutbu-d-Din fought with Taju-d-Din Yaldoz, Ibak his slave tasted the cup of death. At that time he made Iyaltimish an especial favourite, and after the capture of Gwaliar he made him Governor of that place, and subsequently bestowed upon him the rule of Baran and its environs, and since he began to shew signs of extraordinary hardiness he entrusted the country of Badaun to him, and in the war of Muizzu-d-Din with the Khokhars (as has been already related), Iyaltimish having got together a huge army from Badaun and the foot of the hills, joined hands with Sultan Muizzu-d-Din in the service of Sultan Qutbu-d-Din, and armed as he was having forced his horse into the river engaged the enemy bravely several Jalalu-'d-Din Mangbarni son of Khwarazm Shah who having suffered defeat at the hands of Changiz Khan after Taju-d-Din, came to Ghaznin and thence from fear of the incursions of Changiz Khan had gone to Lahore with his family and relations; and Sultan Jalalu-'d-Din not being able to withstand him went towards Sindh and Siwistan and from there by way of Kuch and Makran arrived at Kirman and Iraq.
