The Nāṣirī Generations 136: I. AMIR PULAD [OR FULAD], SHANSABI.

136

Amir Pulad, Ghuri, was one of the sons of Malik Shansab, son of Kharnak; and he brought under his jurisdiction the districts of the mountain tracts of Ghur. He rendered the names of his fathers immortal; and, when the advocate [of the cause] of the house of 'Abbas, Abu-Muslim-i-Marwazi, arose, and considered it expedient to oust and to expel the Amir of the family of 'Ummiah from the territory of Khurasan, Amir Pulad led the forces of Ghur to the aid of Abu-Muslim-i-Marwazi, and greatly distinguished himself in supporting and assisting the house of 'Abbas and the family of the Prophet.
For a long period the dominion over Mandesh, and the authority over the mountain tracts of Ghur was exercised by him. He died; and his dominions remained in the possession of the sons of his brother; and, subsequently, their affairs [and proceedings] were not to be discovered, up to the time of Amir Banji, the son of Naharan.
