From thence [Samrkand?] Sultan Muhammad advanced into ’Irak, and the territories of ’Irak, Azarbaijan, and Fars fell into his hands. He took the Ata-bak Sa’d captive in battle, as has already been stated, and the Ata-bak Yuz-bak was likewise put to flight. He placed his son, Sultan Rukn-ud-Din, styled Ghuri Shanasti, on the throne of ’Irak, and appointed Ulugh Khan-i-Abi Muhammad, his Ata-bak and Lieutenant; and the Maliks of Ghur were directed to proceed into that territory. Sultan Muhammad now left ’Irak, and set out on his return to Mawar-un-Nahr; but, turning suddenly off from the banks of the river Jazar he pushed on towards Bamian, and, suddenly and unawares, pounced upon Sultan Jalal-ud-Din ’Ali, son of Sam, ruler of Bamian, seized him, and martyred him, and then returned [to Khwarazm].
