132.2.4

From this point, in order to save space, I must greatly curtail the notes I had written, although the remaining events in the career of Jalal-ud-Din are very interesting. The Sultan entered Kirman, and Shuja'-ud-Din, Abu-l-Kasim's son, who held out Gawashir [also called Bardasir] for Ghiyas-ud-Din, the Sultan’s brother, and who was then holding it against Burak, the Hajib, came out and presented the keys to the Sultan. Burak pretended to submit and to be most loyal, and gave his daughter to the Sultan, but, subsequently, shut him out of the capital, and sent out his followers, although he pretended merely to hold it, and the territory of Kirman, as the Sultan’s deputy. Jalal-ud-Din had matters of greater importance to engage his attention at that time, and he accordingly set out for ’Irak by way of Shiraz, and sent an envoy to the Ata-bak Sa’d to announce his coming. marriage, and entertained him as a guest. From Fars, Jalal-ud-Din entered the country of Azarbaijan, and defeated the infidels of Gurj [Georgia], and reduced that country under his jurisdiction. He also fought engagements with the armies of Rum and of Sham, and was defeated and overcome; but, at length, peace was concluded between him and the army of Sham. Turti, the Mughal, who had invested Multan, left Chingiz Khan, and came and joined Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, and became a convert to the Muhammadan faith.
