The Sultans of the Shansabi dynasty have been divided into four groups : — I., that class, the mention of which will now be recorded, of which Sultans Firuz-koh was the seat of government ; II., the dynasty of the Sultans of Bamian, who were a branch from this great tree of sovereignty ; III., the dynasty of the Sultans of Ghaznin. which was the capital of Sultan Mu'izz-ud-Din, Muhammad-i-Ghazi. son of Sam, and his own particular slaves, every one of whom, after him, ascended the throne ; and IV., the dynasty of the Sultans of Hindustan, the heritage of which dominion, and the sovereignty of which monarchy passed to them, and after whom the race of Shamsi became established upon the throne of royalty. May the Almighty purify the tombs of those who have passed away, and prolong the sovereignty of those remaining to the judgment day ! As much as was discoverable respecting this race in chronicles has been recorded [here], although, in the compilation of it, there was not an uninterrupted succession to be set forth.
