The Nāṣirī Generations 132.2.3

132.2.3

Whilst in Lower Sindh, information reached the Sultan, that his brother, Ghiyas-ud-Din, Pir Shah, was established in 'Irak; but that the troops, generally, desired his [Jalal-ud-Din’s] presence, and were calling for him to head them; and further, that Burak, the Hajib, was in Kirman, and was then investing the town [city] of Bardasir. [Ibn Haukal says — “Bardasir, which is to say, Gawashir.] These things, together with information respecting the movements of a large Mughal force [the one previously alluded to, which was despatched into the Mukranat — the Mukrans], and the return of Chingiz to his own country again, determined the Sultan to set out for 'Irak by way of Mukran, which he did in 621 H.; and, like Alexander before him, lost a number of his followers from the unhealthiness of the climate.
