149.1.3

The second account is, that Husain ['Izz-ud-Din], the father of the seven sons, raised to the rulership of Ghur by Mas’ud-i-Karim, having died in 545 [540 H. ?] was succeeded by the most prominent of his sons, ’Ala-ud-Din, Husain, who rebelled against Bahram Shah, marched against Ghaznin, took it, during Bahram's absence, and set his brother, Suri, upon the throne of the Mahmudi’s. Soon after Bahram returned, and hung Suri. The remainder of the account agrees pretty well with the first. The third is, that Bahram Shah was dead before ’Ala-ud-Din reached Ghaznin the second time, and in this statement a number of the most trustworthy authorities agree, and further that Khusrau Shah, his son, had succeeded just before ’Ala-ud-Din’s advance, and, on his approach, Khusrau Shah at Kidan, Sultan ’Ala-ud-Din ascended the throne of the dominion of Ghur, and assembled the forces of Ghur, of the capital, Firuz-koh, and of Gharjistan, and determined to march against Ghaznin.
