152.2.5

This success was gained in the year 588 H. ; and Malik Baha-ud-Din, Tughril, the Sanjari, in that encounter, fell into the hands of the Bamian troops, and they brought his head to the presence of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din. On that day, likewise, Malik Shams-ud-Din of Bamian, son of Malik Fakhr-ud-Din, Mas’ud, who was the Sultans’ uncle, obtained [the honour of] a canopy of state, and they gave him the title of Sultan. In this same year likewise, previous to the time that the forces of Ghur, Ghaznin, and Bamian were about to assemble at Rudbar of Marw, for the purpose of restraining Sultan Shah, commands had been issued for the martyrdom of the gentle and beneficent Sultan, Khusrau Malik. The mercy of the Almighty be upon him ! Every year fresh successes were taking place in different directions of the territories of Ghur, until, in the year 596 H., Sultan 'Ala-ud-Din-i-Takish, Khwarazm Shah, died Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din and Mu’izz-ud-Din moved into Khurasan with the armies of Ghur and Ghaznin, and advanced to the gate of Nishapur.
