When the sovereign power was firmly established in the hands of Sultan Bahram Shah, Malik Ikhtiyaru-d-Din Itkin who was formerly Hajib and was married to a sister of the Sultan, and had got all the affairs of the kingdom into his own hands by the assistance of Nizamu-l-Mulk Muhazzabu-d-Din, being accustomed always to keep a large elephant tied up at his door, like a king, was murdered in the year 638 H. together with Muhazzabu-d-Din wazir, by certain Fidais, by the orders of the Sultan, and in this year the Sultan dealt with a party composed of Amirs and chief men, and leading nobles, and grandees, and judges who used to hold secret meetings to discuss a change of monarchy and the appointment of a new king. Some of them he put to death, and some, as for example Badru-d-Din Sungar Amir-i-Hajib he sent to Badaon where they died in prison. Among them was Qazi Jalalu-d-Din Kashani, whom they removed from his military command and appointed Qazi of Badaon, and Qazi Shamsu-d-Din the Qazi of Marhira they threw under the feet of an elephant in the same way.
