(1232 A.D.) he brought him to Dehli when Sultan Said Shamsu-d dunya wau-d din adorned the throne. With several other Turks he was brought into the presence of the Sultan. When the monarch observed him he bought all the lot of Turks and appointed them to attend before his throne. Ulugh was seen to be a youth of great promise, so the king made him his personal attendant, placing, as one might say, the hawk of fortune on his hand. So that in after times, in the reigns of this monarch's children, it might come to pass that this youth should save the kingdom from the violence and machinations of its foes, and raise it to a high pitch of glory and honour. At this period, while he was discharging his duties, by the decree of fate, he recovered his brother Kishli Khan (afterwards) lord chamberlain, at which he rejoiced greatly. His power became conspicuous. When Sultan Ruknu-d din came to the throne, he went off along with the Turks from Dehli to Hindustan, and when the Turks were brought back he returned to Dehli in their army. He was imprisoned for some days and subjected to some indignity. The design in this may have been (God knows !) that he should taste the sufferings of the miserable, so that when he attained to the sovereign dignity he might have compassion on them, and be thankful for his own exaltation. \[A story is introduced here.\] - [Previous: 57.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.1) - [Next: 57.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.3) - [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.57.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.57.2) · Pramāṇa
