During the conversation at the interview, Malik Taj-ud-Din mentioned that Malik Kutb-ud-Din, I-bak, the Turk, came, with his tribe and kindred, towards Jund and Khwarazm, from the side of Suhari \[or Sahari\], and from among the tribes of Kifchak and Kankuli, and, for a considerable period, dwelt in those tracts, subject to the Khwarazm-Shahi rulers, Abu Ja’far and Mamun, and their posterity, and used to subsist in the wilds and pasture-lands. As Kutb-ud-Din was a spirited, enterprising, and high-minded chief, and of admirable temperament, the leadership of the forces of the Maliks of Khwarazm was entrusted to him, until, as Providence had decreed, the ruler of Khwarazm at that period died, and no son of his survived who could take his place, and his dominions were left without a sovereign. A daughter, however, survived him; and the whole of the great nobles of Khwarazm agreed among themselves, and gave that daughter in marriage to Malik Kutb-ud-Din. The espousals having been concluded, the name of sovereign was assigned to that daughter, and the viceroyalty was conferred upon Malik Kutb-ud-Din, the Turk, her husband. - [Previous: 119.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.119.3) - [Next: 119.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.119.5) - [Up: 119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.119) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.119.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.119.4) · Pramāṇa
