Thus fell Sooltan Moyiz-ood-Deen Mahomed Ghoory, in the year 602, after a reign of 32 years from the commencement of his government over Ghizny, and three from his accession to the throne. The Vizier, Khwaja-ool-Moolk, secured some of the assassins, and put them to a cruel death.

The body was conveyed in mournful pomp towards Ghizny ; but when the army reached Pishawur, a contest arose about the succession to the throne.
