Muntakhab al-tawarikh 31.5

31.5

On the last day when Sultan Nasiru-d-Din came to bid farewell in the presence of Malik Nizamu-l-Mulk and Qiwamu-l-Mulk, who were both of them counsellors and closely bound up with the Government, he gave Mu‘izzu-d-Din many good pieces of useful advice on all subjects, with exhortation, and examples and instances, and first of all warned him against excess in wine and venery, then spoke of his carelessness with regard to state matters, and rebuked him severely for killing his brother Kai Khusru and the other noted Amirs and Maliks of the adherents of Ghiyasu-d-Din; then he exhorted him to be continually given to prayer and to perform the fast of Ramazan, and to keep all the principal tenets of the Musulman religion, and taught him certain fixed rules and essential regulations of sovereignty.
