The Nāṣirī Generations 132.2.9

132.2.9

With Jalal-ud-Din, the Khwarazm Shahi dynasty terminated. Some authors relate that he was not slain on the above occasion, but that he changed clothes with the Kurd, and turned devotee, and wandered about the world. Curiously enough, I have accidentally met with a confirmation of this. It is He succeeded in reaching a place in the territory of Akhlat, and halted to rest near a village, the chief of which recognized him. In a battle, which had taken place between the Sultan and the troops of Sham, he had slain the brother of that chief. Having the Sultan thus in his power, that chieftain martyred him. The next day, information was conveyed to the sovereign of Sham, who was greatly grieved [at his fate]; and he commanded that the murderer should suffer condign punishment. On the occurrence of this misfortune, the sister of the Ata-bak, Abu-Bikr, ruler of Fars [Jalal-ud-Din’s consort], reached Sham. She was treated with honour and reverence, and was conducted back to Fars. Thus the dominion of the Khwarazm Shahs terminated; and their remaining Maliks, and their followers, took up their residence in Sham and in Misr.
