132.1.1

Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, Mang-barni, was the eldest son of Sultan Muhammad, and was endowed with great heroism, valour, and high talents and accomplishments. When his father, Sultan Muhammad, acquired possession of the territories of Ghur and Ghaznin, he conferred them on Jalal-ud-Din, and made over both those kingdoms to his charge ; and deputies of his were placed in those countries. Ghaznin was given to Malik Kuriz ; Firuzkoh was entrusted to Mubariz-ud-Din, Sabzwari ; and the Wazarat was entrusted to Shihab-ud-Din-i-Alb. Sarakhsi Karrman was given to the Malik-ul-Umra [Chief, or Noble of Nobles], Burshor [Peshawar ?] and Bu-bikrpur [or, Abu- Bikrpur] were conferred upon Malik Ikhtiyar-ud-Din, Muhammad Ali-i-Khar-post. When the irruption of Changiz Khan occurred, Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, Mang-barni, was in attendance upon his father, as has been previously recorded; and, when he brought his father’s remains to Khwarazm and interred them, his brother [Arzalu Shah] was seated on the throne of Khwarazm, although he was a [much] younger brother; and both the brothers were apprehensive of each other. Kutb-ud-Din, Arzalu Shah, conspired against Jalal-ud-Din, who, having obtained information of his design, came out of Khwarazm, and departed by the route of the wilds of Sharistan. From thence he proceeded to the westward of Nishapur, and entered the desert between Khurasan and Kirman, with the determination of proceeding to Ghaznin.
