And in the year 440 H. having conferred upon his two sons Abul Qasim Mahmud and Mansur on the same day robes of honour and the drum and ensigns of commission sent one of them towards Lahore and the other towards Parshur and he sent Abu Ali Hasan Kotwal of Ghaznin to Hindustan to punish the rebels there, and when Hasan returned to Ghaznin after having done good service Maudud made him over to Mirak ibn Hasan with orders to imprison him. He died in prison. As a sequel to this, Mirak ibn Hasan the Vakil who had murdered Abu ‘Ali Hasan without the orders of Amir Maudud and had kept it secret, incited the King to proceed to Kabul so that that of his might remain concealed. When the Amir Maudud reached the fortress of Sialkot, he was attacked with colic and was forced to return to Ghaznin, and ordered Mirak to release Abu Ali Kotwal. He accordingly prayed for a week's respite, and in the interim Amir Maudud departed this life on the 24th of Rajab A.H. 441, having reigned nearly nine years. The Lubbu-t-Tawarikh states that Sultan Maudud asked in marriage the daughter of Chughri Beg Saljuqi, by whom he had a son whom he named Mas'ud, that he reigned seven years, and that in the month of Rajab 441 he attempted to go to Khorasan to visit Chughri Beg, but died on the journey of colic.
