On Saturday, the new moon of Muharram, 651 H., Ulugh Khán proceeded to Hánsi with his followers and family. When the Sultán reached Dehli, the thorn of envy, which still festered in the malicious heart of Ríhán, impelled him to recommend his majesty to send Ulugh Khán to Nágor, and to give the country of Hánsi to one of the royal princes. His majesty accordingly went to Hánsi, and the Khán removed to Nágor. This happened in Jumáda-l ákhir 651 H. On his departure for Hánsi, ’Imádu-d dín Ríhán became wakíldár, and the administration of the royal orders passed into his hands. Through the envy and malignity of the new minister, the office of Kází of the State was taken from the author, Minháj Siráj, in Rajab, 651, and given to Kází Shamsu-d dín Bahraíchi. On returning to the capital, on the 17th Shawwál, Malik Saifu-d dín Kishlí Khán, brother of Ulugh Khán, was sent to his estate of Karra, and ’Izzu-d dín Balban, son-in-law of Katlagh Khán, was appointed to the charge of the office of lord chamberlain. All the officers who had been appointed through the interest of Ulugh Khán were removed, and the business and quietude of the State were disturbed, all through the machinations of ’Imádu-d dín.
