Imperative orders were several times sent to him from Court, but to these he paid no heed. 'Imadu-d din Rihan busied himself in stirring up strife, and endeavoured by intrigue and deceit to throw the dirt of his wretched selfish plots on the prosperity of Ulugh Khan, and to cloud the glory of that Khakan with the emanations of his malice. But "Divine mercy is for ever sufficient," and it prevented the success of these schemes. Malik Taju-d din Sanjar had been confined in prison by Katlagh Khan. The government of Bahraich had been granted to Sanjar, and this was the reason of his imprisonment. By a bold contrivance he escaped from Oudh out of the hands of his oppressors, and crossing the river Saru in a boat, he proceeded with a few horsemen to Bahraich. Under the decrees of fate the fortune of the Turks now triumphed, and the power of the Hindus was levelled with the dust. 'Imadu-d din was defeated and taken prisoner, and put to death in Bahraich, in the month of Rajab, 653 H. With him Katlagh Khan's fortunes declined. When these disturbances arose in Hindustan, several of the chief nobles of the Court were drawn away from their allegiance, and it became necessary to put down the insurrection and to punish the disaffected nobles. The army accordingly left Dehli, on the new moon of Shawwal, 653 H. - [Previous: 57.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.22) - [Next: 57.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.24) - [Up: 57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.23) · Pramāṇa
